Press Release

The National Junior College Athletics Association (NJCAA) announced yesterday that, for the very first time, students in 91��Ƭ��'s sports media program will be the primary production team for an ESPN broadcast.

The 91��Ƭ�� Grizzly football team will play Dodge City Community College on Saturday, November 4, in a match-up of nationally-ranked teams, and 91��Ƭ�� Creative TV (BCTV) will produce the game in partnership with the NJCAA and California's Tourbeau Sports.

91��Ƭ��’s 40-foot mobile production trailer, donated two years ago by Evergy, will serve as the hub for the production.

91��Ƭ�� students will be involved in directing, running replay, providing graphics and operating nine cameras for the broadcast, which will be live-streamed on the ESPN+ app.

It will be the first ESPN-branded sporting event involving 91��Ƭ�� athletics and the first national-level partnership for BCTV.

“We are very excited for our students to work on a live broadcast for ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports television,” said Matt Jacobs, BCTV station manager. “Our sports media students get incredible hands-on experiences at 91��Ƭ�� and this is one more exciting opportunity!”

The game will kickoff at 12:03 and will be available on the ESPN+ app.

91��Ƭ��’s sports media program is designed to educate students pursuing careers in all aspects of broadcasting, including on-air and behind-the scenes, as well sports photography and sports writing.
