ILSportsWire is preparing for the winter high school sports season, with hopes for even more success than in the fall season.  The digital media initiative operates as part of this website’s parent company, the Hart Media Group.  ILSportsWire’s team members cover sporting events of local high school teams.  They capture highlights of what’s happening on the field as well as other components of the gameday atmosphere and interview players, coaches, and other people involved.  The aim is to leverage new media, supplement the already-existing radio coverage of sports, and support the wider goals of the Hart Media Group. 

Jack Hart is the founder of ILSportsWire.  He says the fall sports season was a major success and expects similar outcomes in the winter, which will focus on basketball.

Matt Hart is the owner of the Hart Media Group.  He says ILSportsWire is a way to cover sports outside of what radio broadcasts are able to present. 

The Hart Media Group’s slogan is, “connecting people.”  Matt Hart says ILSportsWire does just that, through local sports.

With central Illinois consisting of many small towns, Jack Hart wants to be sure their sports teams and overall communities receive the coverage he feels they deserve.

ILSportsWire is still seeking sponsors for the winter sports season.  Businesses wishing to take part can email contact@ilsportswire.com.  More information is available at www.ilsportswire.com. 

Matt and Jack Hart appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
