With recent newspaper cutbacks -- at every daily big and small in and around the Pittsburgh area -- less things are going to get covered. Now, MSA Sports, which provides audio broadcasts of a lot of WPIAL events has started a kickstarter to keep running.
Covering PIAA's District 7 is a monstrous undertaking. Teams are spread all over southwestern Pennsylvania. Being able to be financially solvent has to be difficult.
Here's hoping the group will stay around. The Friday night football call-in show in valuable for any of us on the road interested in scores. Many of their broadcasters have been around for many years.
Full disclosure: I am not employed by MSA Sports Network, but have had many positive interactions with their employees over the years.
