Changes to the King of Online Radio for 2011
This is the beginning of our seventh season of high school football coverage on the King of Online Radio. Changes are coming.
The first change involves our live broadcasts this fall. We will not be producing as many live broadcasts as we have in the past. We weren't sure we'd be able to do any, but it looks like we will be able do still do some games live.
As many of you know, I am a varsity coach at Blanchester High School. With the retirement of longtime athletic director Ron Duncan, the varsity coaches at Blanchester are being asked to help attempt to fill the void left by Duncan's departure. This means increased responsibilities for me at Blanchester High School, which will include Blanchester High School football games.
Due to me having to work Blanchester football games this fall (probably as PA announcer), we will not be doing exclusive coverage of Goshen football in 2011. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at Goshen. The people there are fantastic and they supported us in every way imaginable. But with my new responsibilities this fall, that simply won't be possible. We will still continue to cover Goshen football and support them through this website. It just won't be exclusive coverage.
Our goal for this fall is to turn our site into your local destination for news, weather and sports from the area. Our streaming station already reflects those changes. We are streaming some of our classic games right now. We also have updated national news headlines from CBS News airing every hour, every day. We also have some new programming coming soon, so keep checking back to our website frequently.
In the coming days, we'll have all the 2011 high school football schedules posted. We will continue to give you the latest scores and standings from the three leagues we cover. Now, you can quickly access team schedules, scores, audio and more from our horizontal menu bar at the top of this column. Other information, like blog pages, weather and links are still available in the vertical column on the left. Plus, a new twitter section keeps you updated on what we are doing in real-time.
I look forward to continuing to serve this community through this website for years to come. Our coverage will be evolving as the summer progresses. As soon as our plans are finalized, you will be the first to know.
