oore Public Schools’ sports fans have even more ways to support their favorite student-athletes. SportsTalk Media is partnering with the district to provide live-stream broadcasts of more than 150 athletic events for the upcoming school year. “Moore Public Schools and MPS Athletics are excited to partner with SportsTalk Media because this partnership brings attention to all of our programs,” said District Athletic Director Brian Fitzgerald. “We’ve got some really great programs and we are thrilled to be able to share more about all of them.” Through the live stream, all home & away football games as well as select volleyball and fast-pitch softball games and multiple winter and spring sporting events will be broadcast online, including one of the premier basketball tournaments in the state, the John Nobles Invitational. “SportsTalk Media is honored to be able to bring live-streaming to Moore schools, much like we have for the past eight years for Norman Public Schools, including playoffs and state title games for football, basketball and soccer,” said Perry Spencer, director of streaming for SportsTalk Media. “We want to encourage fans to still show up in person to support their favorite school, but if you can’t, we will have you covered this year with our great coverage.” Local and out-of-town family and friends will be able to watch

the live-stream events at MooreSports.tv. “We are excited to provide this experience for our fans in the metro but also across the world,” Fitzgerald said. “They can watch their loved ones and still feel a part of everything.” Live-streaming coverage will complement current athletics coverage. Moore Lions football will still have their radio broadcast led by JD Northcutt and Westmoore will have theirs led by Chris Foshee. “We want to be another great community partner with those two great broadcast teams,” said Spencer. “Our live streaming will offer the district even more visibility and Moore sports fans additional access to show their support.” Fans will be able to watch regular-season games free of charge, thanks to advertiser support. “One of the greatest parts about this will be that the service to watch will be absolutely free in the regular season, that is a big difference from the past where you might have to pay monthly, and that is because of our great advertisers,” shared Spencer. “We really appreciate the advertisers for making that possible.” Programming will also include coaches’ shows featuring coaches and student-athletes, starting this fall with cross country, football, fast-pitch softball, volleyball, cheer, pom and band.
