The Kansas legislature passes a bill allowing local broadcasters to video stream all postseason high school events. Kansas Association of Broadcasters Board Member and KGGF General Manager John Leonard says a group previously had the exclusive rights to the postseason.
The legislation will come into effect July 1st of this year. Leonard says this not only affects local radio stations but also the fans. Students interested in pursuing careers in radio broadcasts will also benefit from the legislation. Previously, if a local station was prohibited from video streaming a post-season game, so were their student workers. Now, students will be able to cover all of their school’s activities.
