With Christmas and the New Year now behind us, the basketball seasons and all other high school sports get into full swing this month. The basketball seasons tip off conference play starting the first Friday of the month. Other sports will also be in full swing after the holiday breaks including bowling, cheer, wrestling, gymnastics, hockey, dance, swimming, and diving.
Show the local schools your support by going in person, but then watch WKTV for the events that are showcased each week. Check out the broadcast schedule at wktvjournal.org for replay dates and times.
The tentative schedule is:
Friday, Jan. 4 —Boys/Girls basketball: Kelloggsville at Godwin Heights
Thursday, Jan. 10 — Boys swimming/diving: Hudsonville at East Kentwood
Tuesday, Jan. 15 — Girls basketball: Christian at Wyoming
Friday, Jan. 18 — Boys/Girls basketball: NorthPointe Christian at Godwin Heights
Tuesday, Jan. 22 — Boys/Girls basketball: Potter’s House at Tri-Unity Christian
Friday, Jan. 25 — Boys/Girls basketball: Middleville T-K at Wyoming
Thursday, Jan. 31 — Boys swimming/diving: Rockford at East Kentwood
In addition our featured games — where our sports crew and remote coverage truck will be on hand — we also have a weekly list of all local sporting contests for local fans to get out and enjoy in person.
Featured games are broadcast the night of the contest and then at least once later in the week.
WKTV broadcasts on Wyoming and Kentwood cable channels. On Comcast cable, Channel 25 is the Community Channel, where sports events and other community events are shown; Channel 26 is the Government Channel, where local government meetings and events are shown. On AT&T cable throughout the Grand Rapids area, viewers go to Channel 99, and then are given the choice to watch Wyoming (or Kentwood) Community (Channel 25) or Government (Channel 26) channels.
For complete schedules of programs on WKTV channels, see our Weekly On-air Schedule.
All Featured Games, as well as other high school sports and community events covered by WKTV, are available on-demand within a week of play at wktvondemand.com.
