For the last three years, we've been doing 56 games in 11 days over a three-week period. The decision to condense the schedule really affected our approach this year. |
The big elephant in the room is the fact the Class A state championship games wouldn't be on and those are the biggest schools in the state. |
The good news is if you're an Eastern Maine fan, you're going to see all your favorite teams on TV. |
The main factors for us are manpower and equipment resources. We're not limited by geography, but even if we had more personnel, we still would need another production truck and three more cameras to do all the games, and that's not all. |
We're doing six days of games over an 11-day period. On three of those days, we're broadcasting 10 games total and I don't think we've ever done that many in one day before. |
Without their assistance, those games would not have been shown to local audiences and our phones would have rung. |
