The Black Hills Pioneeris looking to broadcast your sports and community events

How It Works

• Live online broadcasting is done with a camcorder, laptop and internet connection.

• Live broadcasting is 100% live. Live broadcasts on the web are not recordable by viewers and therefore no copies of the broadcast can be made.

Where to Watch

Viewers will access the game from the Black Hills Pioneer website. They can click on the game and watch it live from their computers or internet connected televisions.

Common Questions

Will this affect our gate revenue?

Most of the online viewers will be people who either can’t make it to the game, or would not normally watch the game. We’ve found that expanding the viewership actually encourages people to come to the games in person and gives remote or travelling alumni and family alternatives for viewing.

Nothing can replace the live experience.

Common Questions

Can outsiders scout our team?

With live broadcasting now the standard, the playing field will be flattened and no one will have an advantage. Many leagues already share videotape and this trend is accelerating. Live broadcasting will not interfere with this process. We can omit, delay or edit the release of any archived game footage.

The school will control what happens with archived games and events.

Get Started Now• This medium is not going away. Eventually every game

everywhere will be broadcast online. There is little reason to be a late adopter.

• The Black Hills Pioneer has been your long-time sports partner.• Working with us will ensure that you can be involved with the

process at any level.• By broadcasting you will increase your reach in the community

and your fan base, creating more support, buzz and game-attendance for your athletic programs.
