What to cover, what to cover?

There is a big situation we here at Eyewitness Sports and Catch it Kansas face every single week: what games should we cover? It's honestly a big debate every single week no matter what. The reason why it's such a huge debate is because we have people in here who have some very different views on what games are more important.

Now, I won't name any names in order to protect the (mostly) innocent, but there really is a huge divide in our office. On one hand we have the people who believe that we rarely need to shoot the smaller school games because that won't bring us an audience. Which, to be honest, is a valid point considering we're in a business that thrives on the numbers of viewers we bring in because that ups our sales numbers thus increasing our revenue. So for example, right now, if we had a choice to shoot Great Bend at Heights or Belle Plaine at Douglass, some people in our office would automatically say the Heights game because it will bring in more viewers.

On the other side of the argument are the people who believe that we need to give some love to those smaller schools to mix things up a little bit so we don't have the same schools every single week. Also, some of those smaller schools rarely have an opportunity to get a win so we try to pick the games where we'll be able to actually get some highlights of them. Again, yet another good argument to really bring in viewers that appreciate us taking the time to get to their school. So doesn't that essentially bring in more viewers to increase our revenue?

It's an interesting situation we find ourselves in every week. Do we go big or small? Do we give love to the smaller schools at the risk of blowing off the bigger schools that will probably win state this year? It's tougher than you may think to make that call, so maybe those reading this (I'm sure there are tens of you out there) could give us a little input? Post a comment or maybe write us an email and let us know which games you really want to see each week. A little input can go a long way.
