PCN Continues as Official Cable Television Partner of the PIAA Through 2030
Nearly 30-Year Partnership Renewed Following Decades of Award-Winning Coverage of Pennsylvania High School Championships
CAMP HILL, PA – [8/19/2026] – PCN is proud to announce that it has been selected as the Official Cable Television Partner of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, Inc. (PIAA), extending a partnership that has connected Pennsylvanians to the Commonwealth's biggest high school championship moments since 1998.
The new four-year agreement continues a relationship built on a shared commitment to showcasing student-athletes, supporting schools and local communities, and delivering exceptional championship coverage to viewers across Pennsylvania and beyond. Under the renewed contract, PCN will continue providing coverage of PIAA State Championships in Cross Country, Golf, Soccer, Field Hockey, Volleyball, Football, Competitive Spirit, Swimming and Diving, Basketball, Track and Field, Baseball, Softball, and Lacrosse.
Since 1998, PCN's PIAA coverage has helped preserve and share some of Pennsylvania's most memorable high school sports moments. Beyond broadcasting games, PCN has expanded the visibility of student athletes and strengthened connections between schools and communities throughout the Commonwealth.
PCN's statewide footprint allows championship events to reach a broad audience through traditional cable television and streaming with PCN Select, ensuring viewers have access whether they are watching from the stands, at home, or across the country.
"PCN's partnership with the PIAA reflects our commitment to serving Pennsylvania by connecting communities through stories that matter. For nearly 30 years, we've been proud to bring these championship moments into homes across the Commonwealth, showcasing the dedication of student-athletes, coaches, and schools. We look forward to continuing that tradition and ensuring these remarkable achievements are accessible to audiences for years to come,” said Debra Kohr Sheppard, President and CEO of PCN.
The renewal reflects PCN's longstanding investment in professional production, broad accessibility, and its collaborative relationship with the PIAA. Each championship telecast is supported by experienced production teams dedicated to capturing the excitement, emotion, and significance of the student-athlete experience with the same level of quality viewers expect from major sporting events.
"The PIAA is excited to continue its partnership with PCN,” said Mark E. Byers, PIAA Executive Director. “It is important to have partners who share our vision of promoting education-based athletics while delivering high-quality coverage to communities across Pennsylvania and beyond."
