The station that broadcasts the 321A state tournament is KOOD-TV out of Bunker Hill, KS. Their broadcast of the finals used to run at a later date all around the state on the various PBS stations. I would guess you would have to contact your local PBS station about linking up and carrying the coverage live.

The producer at KOOD is Les Kinderknecht and he's a great guy, but I'm not sure he's gonna be able to help you. I doubt they have the funding, nor the equipment to be at that many sites to simulcast all the state tournaments.

If either Les or your local PBS station (or any other TV/Radio station) is going to be able to do you any good you'd better be contacting them NOW. They're going to need to figure out the logistics, AND sell sponsorships to fund it. They won't be doing it as a public service... they're in business to make money.
