Minnesota Sports Broadcast Network Partners With Meridix to Offer Live Game Coverage in Twin Cities

The Minnesota Sports Broadcast Network, or MSBN, has selected technology from Meridix Creative, Inc. to run its network of live broadcasts throughout the State of Minnesota. The Meridix Broadcast System will provide the MSBN with tools that allow the organization to feature live real-time scoring, live audio, statistics, event syndication, and automatic archiving with each broadcast. The MSBN has already aired nearly 100 games, offering coverage from around the Lake and Suburban East Conferences, with plans to expand to additional conferences and schools.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) September 19, 2006 -- Meridix Creative, Inc. says it has finalized an agreement with the Minnesota Sports Broadcast Network (MSBN) to provide the organization with the latest internet broadcasting and scoring technology and support. The agreement will allow the MSBN to offer live audio, live scoring, real time data, syndication, and audio archives for every sporting event it covers. The MSBN also will be able to use Meridix tools to create game summaries, publish newsfeeds, upload schedules, highlight recent events, and automatically display scores from around the league.

Along with the partnership announcement with the MSBN, Meridix announced plans to increase spending on new infrastructure and increased capacity. Although the changes will be phased-in during the next few weeks, customers have seen new Meridix technology in their accounts, and broadcasts have already experienced greater connection stability. The company noted that the listener side will also be improved soon, incorporating fully redesigned listener pages and event windows.

The Minnesota Sports Broadcast Network was started in 2005 by the group's founder, Mr. Jon Wekkin. Growing from just three initial broadcasters, the team now includes broadcasters from Brown College, the University of Minnesota, minor-league teams, and other sources.
