Want to watch live broadcasts or on-demand Sectional events?
The Section V Broadcast Network is the official video live-streaming provider for Section V and covers many of our Sectional events. The service requires an internet connection and may be a charge per event consistent with the cost to attend in person. 

Want to cover Sectional events?
Members of the media who want to attend Sectional events and provide editorial coverage must follow the process for securing a media pass found here. 

Want to video broadcast Sectional events?
All sectional events may be video broadcast or produced exclusively on the Section V Broadcast Network.  Please reach out if you'd like to determine if video rights are available to purchase for $300.00 per event/contest.  Section V will invoice video rights fees after the sectional event has completed. Payment is expected promptly, and you may be denied future ability to broadcast sectional events if payments are not made within 30 days of the invoice date.  If your media organization has a past history of paying late, we will not provide broadcast access until payment is made in full first as well as all past balances are paid in full.  

All video broadcasting requests will require written permission from Marketing & Communications Director, Executive Director, and/or Assistant Executive Director of Section V Athletics and to start the process complete this online form.  

Want to radio broadcast Sectional events?
Live broadcasting during sectionals requires written consent from the Marketing & Communications Director, Executive Director, and/or Assistant Executive Director of Section V Athletics to broadcast an event. The standard media access rights fees for radio broadcasts are $150.00 per contest/event as indicated below:

1. Team sports (exception of closed sectional tournaments such as Football) radio broadcast fees begin with the rounds of sectional semifinals, and include sectional finals, state qualifier, regional qualifier, crossover and regional events Section V Athletics hosts.  Football radio broadcast fees begin for all rounds due to closed sectionals (meaning not all teams participating in the activity get to participate in the sectional tournament).   
2. Individual sports radio broadcast fees will be assessed for any sectional event or regional event Section V hosts.

Section V will invoice radio fees after the sectional event has completed. Payment is expected promptly, and you may be denied future ability to broadcast sectional events if payments are not made within 30 days of the invoice date.  If your media organization has a past history of paying late, we will not provide broadcast access until payment is made in full first as well as all past balances are paid in full.

Where do I find information about being able to photograph events?
Please review our photography policy here that explains in detail the different ways to photograph sectional and regional events that Section V hosts. We do not provide media credentials to freelance photographers.  You must be part of a bonafide media organization or MaxPreps to be provided media credentials as a photographer for our events.

I am a team phogographer or videographer and like to have a media pass for that access for an event?
Each Section V member school has been given 6 school media passes.  Please connect with the team's athletic office and they should be able to provide that pass to you if you're the team video or photographer.  Each athletic office should have access and is responsible for those passes that are provided.  Please note only one team photographer and videographer per school is permitted such access.
