Last year we had one of the best teams in NKY history play and win a state championship as well as end up nationally ranked in the top 3 yet still seemed to be shunned by the local cable network ICN6. The Highlands Bluebirds were not featured in any of the games of the week. Does anyone have any info on this year's criteria for making the cut? Now that Highlands has seemingly come back down to earth this year, maybe they'll start featuring them again. Let me guess, hmm, probably the Ryle game simply b/c the consensus is a potential defeat for the Birds.....

I think ICN quit filming the games but u can watch alot of games on the internet.

I do not believe it has been the cable company deciding not to show HHS games but rather the coach.

Who says so? Dont look now but Highlands has been told they will be included in USA Today Top 25 Preseason Issue due out in the next few weeks. Didnt say what they would be ranked but by the looks of this yrs team I am also going to have to beg to differ on your second comment as well. My guess is the Birds come in around 15 to 18 spot. Go Birds. 20n10

The Highlands vs. St. X game last year was aired on CBS College Sports Network. It was a great broadcast. Several cameo shots of Chris Collinsworth, Merrill Hoge and others celebs. The atmosphere of David Cecil Stadium was electric. I have heard that several of the local AD's are not overly receptive to live broadcasts of their football games. In addition to the concerns about the broadcast hurting the gate, they are not looking to add any more items to their "to do" list on game day. Fox Sports Ohio typically carriers a few N. KY games on their Thursday night schedule. The Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky (in Kenton and Boone Counties) with Gametime at the helm, does a great job covering high school football games.

Pretty sure the Highlands / Ryle 2 of 2 is on Thurs night Fox Sports at Ryle.

Is ICN6 available in Campbell County? I thought I read something along the lines of one of the stations not being aired in that area so games weren't recorded in that area. I could be way off base there.

That's TBNK...

ICN (Insight) airs in Kenton, Boone and Campbell Counties.

 

The Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky is an agency formed via an interlocal agreement between municipalities, Kenton and Boone (for awhile longer anyway) counties. The TBNK airs its local access, government and religious programming on Insight channels 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22 in Kenton and Boone Counties.

 

Campbell County Media Central provides local public access, government and religious programming in Campbell County. I believe Ft. Thomas has a separate local programming agreement with Insight.

Hurting the gate? please. $5 is hardly going to hurt most folks wallets, especially when it comes to watching a superb high school football team like Highlands. I myself enjoy watching and then having the opportunity, at my leisure, to review the games at a later time. It's frustrating when the majority of ICN games are with Kenton Co. teams. The schedule needs more balance between the counties. Out of the 22 teams slated for television this season, only 2 are from Campbell County. That's pathetic IMO.
