Based on the Association's partnership with the NFHS Network and Sinclair Broadcasting Group (SBG), the
NCHSAA is pleased to offer broadcasters the opportunity to broadcast NCHSAA Playoff Contests. The Association re
quires all broadcasters to complete the NCHSAA's Post-Season Broadcast Request form to gain approval to broadcast
playoff contests. Once the online form has been submitted, stations will receive notification of approval or denial. The
station or outlet should pay the appropriate fee for the broadcast, as shown below. An athletic director may allow an
audio-only/radio broadcast without prior NCHSAA Approval provided the outlet is in good standing with the school.
Any NCHSAA Playoff event declined by the NFHS Network or the NCHSAA's Television Partner, SBG, is
eligible for third-party video production and distribution at the rates listed below. Schools may elect to produce
declined events for streaming on the NFHS Network and fees for those productions will be waived provided the
event is EXCLUSIVELY distributed either live or on-demand through the NFHS Network's streaming and technology
infrastructure. All fees are payable to the host school of the contest for inclusion on the financial report.
Network streaming software and access to the Network will be made available to Schools at no cost provided
that the School utilizes both the consumer subscription and video player provided by NFHS Network.
