KANSAS CITY, Mo — KSHB and 38 the Spot/KMCI are proud to announce plans to broadcast 12 MIAA collegiate football games this fall.
The partnership matches the broadcast reach of 38 The Spot/KMCI with fans of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.
“We are thrilled to have the MIAA game of the week join our great lineup on 38 the Spot for 2024,” said Kathleen Choal, regional vice president and general manager of KSHB and KMCI. “With so many great teams, combined with their passionate fan base, it’s exciting to bring the action from the gridiron to our Kansas City audience live on KMCI 38 the Spot. We continue to look for ways to bolster our live sports offerings on KMCI and the MIAA is a perfect addition."
The MIAA enters the season with several teams ranked in the 2024 NCAA Division II football preseason ranking, including Central Missouri (2), Pittsburg State (6) and Northwest Missouri (22).
"We are excited to offer this television opportunity in the great metropolitan area to connect with the 120,000 MIAA alumni in Kansas City, and to spread awareness of the quality and competitiveness of MIAA football to college sports fans throughout the region," said MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy. "We believe that this television platform and the exposure for MIAA schools will help drive many new subscribers to the MIAA network."
Racy added the 2024 partnership can "develop into a longer-term partnership with Scripps (KSHB/KMCI's parent company), and perhaps even include broadcasting other MIAA sports."
