PrepsKC is excited to announce that it has added another outstanding media partner. KCTV5 and KSMO will be the exclusive broadcast media partner of PrepsKC.
This new partnership will bring two media outlets that are committed to providing high quality coverage of high school football together.
KCTV5 News Director Blaise Labbe said this partnership will benefit all fans of high school football in the Kansas City Metro.
“We are very excited to enter this partnership with PrepsKC,” Labbe said. “We value the importance of High School athletics and our partnership with PrepsKC strengthens our commitment to providing the most comprehensive content to our audience. “
This fall KSMO will again be airing its high school football game of the week and PrepsKC will provide its live scoreboard ticker throughout the broadcast. The partnership also allows both KCTV5/KSMO and PrepsKC to combine their efforts to provide the most comprehensive high school football coverage in the country. PrepsKC will provide content for KSMO’s high school football coverage on the internet and on air.
KCTV5 will also become the official weather service for fans of PrepsKC and will give a forecast every week during PrepsKC’s Football Friday Night radio show during the football season.
“We pride ourselves on having the most thorough coverage in the Metro and in the country,” PrepsKC Managing Editor Dion Clisso said. “This partnership allows us to take high school football coverage to yet another level. KCTV5 and KSMO have a strong commitment to high school football and we feel that this partnership will benefit the fans in many ways.
“KCTV5 and KSMO join a long list of PrepsKC media partners that are committed to high school football, it’s players, coaches, parents and fans and that commitment benefits everyone involved.”
