Warrior Sports Network

This last weekend was a start of the Winona Sports Network; a lot of networks when they start it is at a smaller stage. So when we looked at the spring schedule for athletics there was no doubt about having the baseball game at the Metrodome being broadcasted live on winonastatewarriors.com. The actual unofficial start of WSN was two weeks earlier when the Warrior Gymnastics team took on UW-Whitewater here in Winona

The game might have started at 12:00 PM but our day started at 5:30 AM and with rush hour traffic it took us until 9 AM to reach the Metrodome. We were broadcasting out of the booth that ESPN and Fox Sports does their games out of and it is always cool to think of all the people who have been in that booth. Thanks to the Mass Communications Department here at Winona State for letting us use some of the cameras to make our video broadcast work. There was a lot riding to this broadcast because of the interest created by starting our own network and presenting an away game.

Everything worked well at the Metrodome and it was too bad that the Warriors finished the day with a split. The great thing is that this isn’t the end of WSN and we will have more broadcasts later this spring and for the 2010-11 school year. So look for big and better things to come from WSN in the near future. By the way if you are interested you can find a replay of the game on the newly started Podcast site on Itunes, you can find the link on winonastatewarriors.com. As always, Go Warriors!!!!
