45 TV Coverage
Solid so far by Jim Erickson. Love how Lou can work in how he watched some game from some exotic location.

Tonight I only have a 450 option. Definitely not working smooth tonight.goldy313 wrote:If I remember from past years it is pretty bad during the day on Thursday and Friday. I missed the first period as well, it wouldn't load. Following grindians suggestion I turned down the setting to 300 and it's been much better with no lagging or buffering like I had during the first game.

It's my understanding that for some time now the contract has covered all televised tournaments, boys/girls hockey, b/g basketball and football. MSHSL may not have a whole lot of bidders. In the one class era the hockey contract was bid separately. It was always the subject of some intrigue. When the tourney was split, it really diminished the value to any broadcaster.ZachHalverson wrote:They extended it to 2021 back in 2009.

My guess is that TV viewership parallels ticket sales, and I can't believe that there is much money to be made selling ads for the girls games or AA boys. I'm not talkin' smack about those events, just looking at it the way and ad sales guy does. The Super Bowl gets better ratings than the Stanley Cup, but I know which I'd rather watch.
The way basketball has been so watered down with 4 classes, and being overshadowed by NCAA March Madness, I doubt there is much money to be made there, either.

It is too bad they aren't able to sell ad time to some additional sponsors. But I suppose the reason they can't is because there isn't much demand from other companies to be one of the sponsors, and this is probably due to the so-so ratings the telecasts draw? (then again, the hockey tourneys are the only time I tune into to Channel 45, and I doubt that I'm alone in this regard!)Joe2015 wrote:But jeez do they have to show the same 4 commercials over and over?
The only other reasons for them having to run the same commercials over and over would be (a) their sales people don't do a good enough job of reaching out to additional advertisers, and/or (b) the station is asking too much for the ad time they're trying to sell, and so they can't get other companies to bite.

Sorry to bump a year old thread but there was news on this earlier. KSTC and the MSHSL have extended there TV contract through the 2030-31 school year.ZachHalverson wrote:They extended it to 2021 back in 2009.
