OHSAA Radio Network Set for Softball and Baseball State Tournaments
The OHSAA Radio Network will broadcast all 12 games from the softball and baseball state tournaments. There is no charge for stations to carry network broadcasts and affiliates can have waived broadcast fees for their own regional and state tournament broadcasts. Program logs are created for each game so local stations can insert their own inventory if they desire (24 local avails per game). The network broadcasts are available through an online stream, while the baseball broadcasts are also available through Skyview Satellite. Contact Tim Stried or visit
