Radio stations stop broadcasting high school football? I know in Columbus itself, there is really no station that does it, but if memory serves me correctly WTVN does have a Friday night score board. As more syndicated programming is used and networks demand that radio stations not preempt their programming, how long will this last?

I think high school sports will always be around on smaller stations in smaller markets...

Yes WTVN does a High School Scoreboard Show, and it's actually quite good! They are only preempting local shows (Joel Riley and Steve Cannon), so the syndicators aren't breathing down their necks in that sense. Small stations will always have high schools sports (like WCHO in Washington Court House or WMRN-AM in Marion...Clear Channel stations no less!). If they can make money at it, they will do it.

It'll be around on smaller stations in big markets, too. There's a big demand there that smaller stations can make money on. Heck, in markets like Cincinnati, where huge schools like St. X and Moeller have a big following, even big guns like CCU have gotten intoi the act.

The high school broadcasts in Cincy are a time-buy and are produced by a third party group comprised and funded mostly by Elder High School alums. They used to buy time on Salem and CC AM's but the Salem station has since been sold.
In Dayton the CC sports station does their own broadcast (though it's always one conference, so it may be paid for by the conference) and another sports station has a time-buy broadcast paid for and produced by Kettering Alter alums.

they will stop when there is no money in broadcasting them anymore, which is probably a ways off
