SOUTHFIELD – WDIV Detroit 4 has partnered with STATE CHAMPS Sports Network to expand its coverage of high school sports in Metro Detroit, including more than 50 live game broadcasts.

Lorne Plant, vice president of Operations at parent copany Yelllow Flag Productions, in this video iterview, also talks about how the alliance with the Detroit TV station now includes promotions of Lawrence Technological University just before NBC’s national broardcast of the Winter Olympics.

On Feb. 17 LTU’s president will appear about 10 minutes before national coverage begins.

Yellow Flag began more than a decade ago to provide coverage of high school sports, Plant said. He said it has evolved into the “ESPN of High School sports.” State Champs’ goal is to go national, he said.
