Expanding Springfield’s broadcast coverage requires more than cameras and volunteers. Reliable connectivity, remote and specialty cameras, production equipment, and mobile infrastructure allow us to cover more events, improve production quality, and give students hands-on experience with professional broadcast tools.
Businesses and organizations can help make these upgrades possible by underwriting specific equipment or major production needs. In return, underwriters may receive prominent recognition connected directly to the equipment their support provides, including customized naming opportunities (e.g. "[Your Company] SkyCam" on screen whenever the SkyCam is used), on-site branding (e.g. "[Your Company] Production Trailer" on the side of a trailer we use at outdoor events), and recognition during broadcasts when appropriate.
Major Equipment underwriting is designed for sponsors who want their support to create a visible, lasting impact on the program. Naming recognition can remain in place for the useful life of the sponsored equipment, helping connect your business with Springfield athletics and student broadcasting for years to come.
Current priority equipment needs and estimated costs are listed below.

1 - 3 Starlink mobile satellite - will allow us to livestream from more locations - $250 per device, then $165 per month ($1980 per year) per device.
