The Miller Media Group has announced that all of the NEWSTALK WTIM platforms will begin airing a "Best Of" Taylorville Tornado football, boys or girls basketball broadcast from this school year, on Saturday mornings at eleven starting this Saturday, April 4th.

Those on-air platforms include the BIG 870 across Central Illinois, 96.1 FM in Christian County, 107.5 FM in Shelby County, and 107.7 FM in Moultrie County.

NEWSTALK WTIM's on-line platforms include it's "WTIM LIVE" stream on taylorvilledailynews.com, as well as on the WTIM mobile app, and Amazon Alexa.

Miller Media Group president Randal J. Miller said the station is excited to highlight the great games and plays of Tornado players, during these replays of these games.

The IHSA is not ruling out the possibility of a partial spring sports season as nationwide the efforts are intensifying to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Craig Anderson is the Executive Director of the IHSA and tells Regional Radio News he does not have all the answers but his staff and their board of directors want to see a spring sports season happen but that will depend on when students return to class.

An option on the table at the moment is pushing the postseason back into the summer months. Anderson indicates this plan is based on what they know about a mid-to-late April of school resuming.
 

There is fear the remainder of the school year could be shut down and Anderson says if officials are advising against students gathering in classrooms then they will not advocate for athletes to gather. He says an announcement of that nature would likely negate any possibility of having a spring sports season.
