Due to the lack of a sell-out at Friday night's Parkersburg South - Parkersburg High School football game, the game will NOT be broadcast live on WTAP or on WTAP.com.

WTAP still plans to present a live 30-minute pre-game show from Stadium Field Friday night starting at 7:00 pm.

We also will have complete highlights of that game and other games on Friday Night Football Frenzy at 11:15 on Friday night.

The game will still be shown Friday night at 11:30 pm and Sunday morning at 9:30 am on FOX Parkersburg, which is cable channel 14 and digital channel 15.2.

And you can see highlights of that game and all of this weekend's high school football action on WTAP.com.

I hope the local fans understand that this is NOT WTAP's decision... If the tickets don't sell out, PHS will not grant WTAP the rights to air the game live. It's called protecting your gate, and it's nothing new... You shouldn't yell at WTAP when the decision is out of their hands. You SHOULD go to the game and make it a sellout!

You people on that side of the river must not understand things well. It's WVSSAC rules. Not the station's decision. No sellout = no television. Sorry. This rivarly is not even a big deal anymore.

why wasnt my comment put up here because i said wtap was a joke. it should be televised, less we forget wtap is above everyone

I feel not showing the game live is a huge travesty. You have hundreds of seniors on both sides of the river that are not able to go watch this game. WTAP should broadcast this game live every year whether it is a sellout or not.

I think it's a shame that WTAP sees fit not to air the game because it did'nt sell out. It should not be about the amount of tickets sold, it should be about the community, especially WTAP, backing two outstanding schools in this long time rivalry!
