Since Cox wants $70,000 to put us on cable (and won't charge anyone else), this is a major consideration. The landscape will change in the next year with the entry of AT&T U-Verse in Wichita. We'd like to go to two nights of football in 2009, with a CL game on Thursday and a non-CL game on Friday.

There will be some records broken that night. If you like offense, this is going to be the game of the year. October 31st (Holloween) - The best two running backs in the state.

There's one problem with doing a live broadcast from Heights... a patch of oil drums just south of K-96 that completely damper our digital microwave truck. If Heights were to put internet access in at their stadium, we might consider it, if there is time (and sufficient sponsorships to cover two nights). The other consideration is that we are obligated to do at least one game of every City League school... which is why while some of these games "don't jump out at you", we have parents and grandparents who buy DVDs, sponsors who traditionally buy games with certain high schools, and viewers all over the world who are alums of the various schools who watch the live streams of the games on the internet.
