Radio Playoff Guidelines
Playoff Radio Broadcast Guidelines
Radio stations broadcasting a post-season event in all conferences in all sports are now required to do the following:
- Receive permission from both schools and the venue.
- Play the UIL Institutional Spot and UIL Sponsor Spot once during the broadcast, for a total of two commercial minutes. The commercials can be downloaded below.
- Fill out the following Radio Playoff Request form prior to the broadcast.
- Read the state championship promotional information twice during the broadcast.
The UIL will not approve or deny radio stations for any post-season games prior to the state championships. A radio station must have permission from both schools and the venue for each game, without this permission the schools or venue can deny a radio station the right to broadcast that game.
Radio stations will need to submit a media credential request for UIL State Championship Events, and pay the rights fee associated with a live play-by-play broadcast of that sport. Check each event's radio FAQs for more information about radio broadcasts at state championship events.
