MEDIA COVERAGE OF HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

[Sidelinehustler]

I cancelled my subscription to the Tennessean after they quit putting any effort into high school sports. I let them know exactly why I was cancelling but obviously they don't care. You can't even do box scores?

Have you ever noticed that they only cover DII and 5A and 6A schools? 

Aren’t your games live streamed online ?  That can reach more people than a tv station

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT GAMES BEING STREAMED. 

i am talking about major networks post game both in print and tv. its as if the games never happened - in middle tennessee unless you are 5A, 6A, or DII

What two major Radio Networks cover Peabody on a regular basis?

WBBJ will show up and tape some highlights and your games are video streamed.

I'm not trying to be disrespecful. Teams in our part of the state are fortunate to have many radio stations covering teams as well as several schools, such as Peabody, who have video streaming. WBBJ does a good job with a very small staff. Sadly,  we don't have good print coverage anymore with The Jackson Sun tanking on coverage with a 6pm deadline. Just don't make it out to be more than it is with the major network radio stuff. Fox radio and ESPN are not sending their staffs out on Friday nights to our neck of the woods.

101.5 does a great job. Alex Northcut and crew do a heck of a job on WBBJ getting out and back in by the 10 o’clock show. 96.5 espn covers everyone.

93.7 interviews lots of local coaches they had coach Jacobs and Pettigrew on before opening season game !! 101.5 does very extensive in depth shows on alot of highschool ball !!!! And I really enjoy the 5th quarter on WBBJ

94.3FM WJJM and 92.5 FM/1490 AM in Marshall county/Lewisburg covers all three county teams. 4A Marshall, 2A Forrest, and 1A Cornersville. Marshall also broadcasts games on the NFHS network through WJJM. We talk with all three coaches and select players every Tuesday night during the season and post season. Post game interviews as well. General, I know this isn't what you are talking about, but too many big time games in the Nashville area for them to worry about little ol us. Marshall did make 17 and 5 last week. 2 years ago Rudy flew down to Fayetteville for the game against Cornersville and channel 2 did a spot in '17 for the first championship run.

Both of those stations do a decent job along with others in West Tennessee. To call both of those stations major Radio Networks is a bit of a stretch to say the least. As I'm sure you are aware, they are both locally owned independent stations. They are not major Radio Networks. Not trying to be a jerk but I am trying to keep it real. Good luck to the tide during the rest of the season. Most definitely hope you bring home another Big Shiny Gold ball
