FOX Sports Midwest Spreads March Madness for High School Basketball

* 40 High School Basketball Games in 10 Days


* FOX Sports Midwest's TV and Web Platforms Combine to Show all Missouri High School Basketball Championship, Semifinal and Third Place Games


FOX Sports Midwest has been the television home of Missouri State High School Activities Association championships since 1998, but this year the network has taken its coverage of the state's football and basketball championships to a new level.
FOX Sports Midwest and FOXSportsMidwest.com will combine to show 40 semifinal, third place and championship basketball games live. Ten championship championship games will be televised on FOX Sports Midwest's secondary channels, while FOXSportsMidwest.com will stream 20 semifinal and 10 third-place contests.


The content comes to FOX Sports Midwest via its partnership with MSHSAA and When We Were Young Productions. In addition to being streamed live on FOXSportsMidwest.com, the semifinal and third place games are being simulcast on Time Warner's Metro Sports channel in the Kansas City market.

* On-air promotion for the MSHSAA championships began in late February, and FOX Sports Midwest is actively promoting live streaming via targeted social media outreach.

The action runs March 10-12 and March 17-19.

FOX Sports Midwest televised all six Missouri high school football championship games in November.
