The Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) today announced a tele-

Portland’s CW. Portland’s CW will become the home of OSAA/OnPoint

The partnership will begin with the 6A Football Semifi nals and the 6A Football
State Championship game.
“The OSAA is excited to partner with KOIN and Portland’s CW and we appre-
ciate their dedication to this type of local sports programming,” said OSAA
Executive Director Peter Weber. “We look forward to showcasing these outstand-
ing events and Oregon’s amazing high school students through this partnership.”
The broadcast schedule of the OSAA/OnPoint Community Credit Union 6A
Football State Championships begins on Nov. 26 with the semifi nals at 12 p.m.
and 5 p.m. The championship game will be played at 12 p.m. on Dec. 4. All three
games will be broadcast live on Portland’s CW from Hillsboro Stadium.
“We are delighted to announce an exclusive broadcast partnership with OSAA
to air this year’s highly competitive High School semifi nal games on Friday, 11/26,
and the Oregon State Championship on Saturday, 12/4, live on KRCW/Portland’s
CW. The announcement underscores KOIN 6 and Portland’s CW’s commitment
to local news, weather and sports coverage,” KOIN 6 and Portland CW’s Vice
President and General Manager, Tom Keeler, said. “We take pride in enabling
our viewers to watch local student-athletes compete to reach the highest-level of
achievement in high school sports – a State Championship, Keeler added. “We
are excited about a long-term partnership with OSAA that will not be limited to
football but will also feature women’s sports as we expand this partnership in the
years to come.”
Future championship events will also be broadcast on Portland’s CW, including
a to be determined slate of games from the 6A Basketball State Championships.
Additional programming meant to highlight the amazing stories of OSAA mem-
ber schools, teams, and students will also be developed in the future.

development of the television broadcast partnership. OSAA State Championship
