Media may now obtain an annual media credential to be used for the school year. This pass is for admission to CIAC regular season games and state tournaments events, with the exception of state finals in football, hockey and basketball. Media should contact the venue’s site director/athletic director in advance in order to secure work space at a press box/table. Applications for annual credential must be signed and submitted by an editor/director.
Applications for either championship game coverage credentials or annual media credentials can be made via the “Credentials/Broadcast Forms” tab on this page.
Mobile video applications such as Periscope or Meerkat may not be used to stream live video during CIAC Tournament contests as it is in violation of the exclusive rights agreement.
Traditional FCC licensed radio station broadcast rights are still available for license from the CIAC for non-declined events. This is for broadcasts that air on a radio station only. Stations are required to disable any broadcast simulcast that air on their website or a “digital stream platform” as part of the rights agreement. Broadcasts that only air on a ādigital stream platformā are not permitted as they violate the exclusive rights agreement. Stations are permitted to produce on-line audio broadcasts for declined events.
Media must complete a Tournament Broadcast Application form found here: CIAC Broadcast Application Form for any television, stream, or radio tournament broadcast to insure it is a declined event and not in violation of the rights agreement.
The following rights fees will be required for broadcasts of CIAC Tournament games for radio and/or television or live streams of NFHS declined games.Ā Failure to provide rights fee payments may result in prohibiting entities to broadcast future CIAC Tournament games. Championship sites listed below include Divisional and State Open Championships in appropriate sports.
