Des Moines, IA- The status quo has been maintained as the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU) and Iowa PBS agreed to a multiyear extension of their partnership to provide broadcast coverage of the State Championship finals for volleyball, basketball, softball, and for the first time wrestling.
The broadcast and streaming partnership ensures that the championship events remain free and accessible everyone in Iowa’s 99 counties.
“For generations, Iowa PBS has played a vital role in bringing championship moments into homes across the state,” said Iowa PBS Executive Director and General Manager Andrew Batt. “Extending our partnership with the IGHSAU ensures Iowa student-athletes can compete for a state championship in front of a statewide audience.”
In addition to broadcast coverage, the IGHSAU championship events will be available on Iowa PBS digital platforms.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Iowa PBS,” said IGHSAU Executive Director Erin Gerlich. “Iowa PBS has been a tremendous partner in elevating the Iowa Girl through its high-quality coverage, and we are excited to see that commitment extend to the Iowa Girls State Wrestling Championships.”
The Girls’ State Wrestling championships are scheduled for February 5th and 6th. KILJ will be providing updates for all of our local wrestlers.
