That would be a great idea for the Fargo tv stations. It gets tiresome hearing about Minnesota all the time.highheat wrote:im suprised that one of the fargo tv stations doesnt have a sports show solely devoted to local high school sports. i know the forum has an entire page just for high school sports almost every thursday.

Living in the east, seems like Minnesota (namely Moorhead) gets quite a bit compared to the EDC teams. TV stations had tape of virtually every Spud hockey game for instance. What about Mandan/Bismarck or the Minot schools or big schools compared to smaller schools or even between sports? Does the amount of coverage a school gets influence how good you think an athlete is?
In the F-M area Moorhead is #1 and then DGF. It is really weird that DGF, Hawley and Ada-Borup get more press than FS and FN:? WF and Shanley get no credit ...unless Dominique Schuler is playing:D

The only local Class B team The Forum covers is Oak Grove. Unless it is districts, then there is some coverage. We're lucky to get our scores in the paper, let alone an article. The same goes for the TV stations... not much coverages if you are outside of Fargo.

It's pretty obvious the Forum sports department is full of guys who are unhappy they are stuck in North Dakota. They fall all over themselves to write about the MN pro teams and Sioux hockey, and will only give a casual mention to their area.
The Jamestown Sun, on the other hand, has guys that are all about their area. They do it the way it should be done. Spreads on the Jimmies, the BlueJays, the area B teams, and the AP stories from the MN stuff. They are probably capable of covering sports at the next level, and maybe thats their goal. But while they are at the Sun, they're gonna cover what the Sun should cover.
Lost in all of this is the coverage that radio stations offer across the state. Oakes, Lisbon, LaMoure, Valley City, Central Cass, Northern Cass, MPCG, Grafton, Cavalier, Rugby, Carrington, Langdon, Bottineau, Devils Lake, all pretty solid coverage throughout the year through local radio. Wahpeton, Jamestown, Bowman, Dickinson, Minot, Williston, all good coverage. In the long run, a lot of teams get coverage, but it may not be through print or through video.
