A bill that would benefit local high school broadcasters being able to cover the postseason is moving ahead to the Kansas House.

The bill would prevent local broadcasters from being excluded from a school's postseason activity, provided the broadcasters cover at least one-third of the regular season events and entered into valid broadcast agreements with the school.  Senator Virgil Peck says the current broadcast regulation is an exclusive agreement between the Kansas High School Activities Association and the National Federation of State High School Associations.

Peck says that Senate Bill No. 13 would change the rule that stations like KGGF are kept out of postseason broadcast coverage.  The bill passed 39-0 with no opposition in the Senate, and will move to the Kansas House next.
