Entry tier · unlimited

The simplest way on air: a rotating banner across 40 broadcasts you choose.

College inventory note. College broadcasts drew a 792-view median last season, more than twice the high school median. That is why the college league carries its own rate of $8,500 (charter $6,900) and college Program slots are quoted individually. A college League Partnership is the straightforward buy.

The broadcast your brand rides

Our standard broadcast runs live scoring, instant replay, and a full on-screen graphics package; featured games add live commentary.

On the broadcast

What your brand looks like on air.

This is what each placement looks like in the frame. Every one of them is on the per-game card below and included at the season-partnership tiers above.

Broadcast frame: full-width sponsor lower-third banner with address and phone number during a SCHSHL faceoff
Lower third + announcer read · from $85/game

A full-width banner built from your assets, on screen while the game runs, paired with a live announcer read on commentated broadcasts.

Broadcast frame: sponsor panel beside the scorebug during a stoppage
Rotating in-game banner · from $45/game

Your mark rotates beside the scorebug, sharing the slot with other sponsors. Repeated on-screen exposure through the whole broadcast, and it stays in the replay.

Broadcast frame: full-screen sponsor billboard at intermission with the live rink picture-in-picture
:30 intermission billboard · from $110/game

Your offer runs full-frame at intermission with the rink picture-in-picture. Fans keep watching through the break, with your ad filling the frame.

Sponsor mark on the instant replay opening graphic
Instant replay sponsor · from $125/game

Every replay opens with your mark on screen, tied to the moments fans rewind and rewatch.

Per-game rates

Buying by the game.

If you want a set run of games instead of a season. One discount ladder applies to every product: 6 games −15%, 12 games −25%, 30 games −30%, half season −35%, full season −45%. Half-season and full-season rates apply to network-wide runs; a single program's season is the Program Partnership. Season partnerships add what per-game buys can't: category exclusivity, announcer reads, graphics marks, and the monthly report.

Big-game premium

Rivalry games, playoffs, championships, and showcases price at +50% over the per-game rate. Last season's 90th-percentile broadcast drew roughly three times the median audience. They can be bought as one-offs.

How placements run

Banners rotate on screen throughout the broadcast. Billboards run full-frame picture-in-picture at intermission, so the game stays on screen through the break. Announcer reads run on commentated broadcasts, and per-game read buys are scheduled onto commentated games. The scoreboard bug is a single-advertiser slot, one per game; it and playoff replay sponsorship sell subject to Network Title Partner priority. Your placement stays in the on-demand replay.
The case

What the same dollar buys elsewhere.

Versus radio

A radio spot plays once, audio-only.

A :30 radio spot in the New York market averages about $1,405. Here, $561 runs a :30 intermission billboard across six broadcasts, on screen during the game and again in the replay.

Versus rink signage

A dasher board covers one building.

Rink dasher boards run $750-$4,500 per year for foot traffic in one arena. A season partnership puts your brand on broadcasts from rinks across the Island, plus everyone watching from home.

Priced at the local level

About $125 per broadcast.

A Program Partnership runs $2,750 across roughly 20-25 scheduled broadcasts of one school's team. That is about $125 per broadcast, with the banner, announcer reads, and the replay included.

No paywall

No paywall means everyone sees it.

Our broadcasts have no per-game charge and no subscription to watch. Nobody is priced out of watching, and your placement keeps collecting views on the replay.

The monthly partner report

Your numbers, on one page.

Every placement is logged as it runs and reported monthly, built from our broadcast logs and channel data:

  • Broadcasts your brand appeared in, listed
  • Total on-screen time, in seconds
  • Views per broadcast you ran in
  • Announcer reads delivered
  • Screenshots of your placements on air
  • Your next 30 days of scheduled broadcasts

Payment

Season partnerships: 50% on signature, 50% by December 15, or monthly installments across the season. Per-game buys are paid in advance. Net 30 is available on season partnerships.

Make-goods

Hockey schedules move. A postponed or canceled broadcast moves your placement to the next comparable slot, in writing.

Creative

Supply your own artwork or have us produce it, from a $150 banner to a fully shot and edited :30. Your placement goes on air at the next scheduled broadcast once creative is approved.
FAQ

Common questions.

How fast can we get on air?

Your placement runs at the next scheduled broadcast once creative is approved. Banner design and :30 billboard production are available in-house if you don't have artwork.

Can we pick specific teams, leagues, or games?

Yes. Per-game buys can target a league, a program, or specific dates. Season partnerships attach to the network, a franchise, a league, or a single program (see the tiers above).

How is delivery measured?

Every season partner receives a monthly report: the broadcasts you appeared in, total on-screen time, views per broadcast, announcer reads delivered, and screenshots of your placements on air.

Do you offer category exclusivity?

Title, Presenting, and League partnerships are category-exclusive at their level: one health system, one credit union, one auto group. Categories close in the order they're signed, and any temporary hold carries a written expiration.

What happens if a game is postponed?

Your placement moves to the next comparable broadcast slot. The make-good policy is written into every agreement.
