Chuck and Jim McBee join Jack Kramer on ScoresBroadcast.com
Chuck and Jim McBee, both former sportscasters on Hits 105.5 FM in Sidney, will join Jack Kramer for the high school football and basketball webcasts on ScoresBroadcast.com in 2010-2011.
Airtime for football on the Internet is at 7:05 PM on Friday nights. Regular season coverage closes on October 29.
The McBee brothers have combined for more than 35 years of sportscasting experience in the upper Miami Valley at the Piqua and Sidney radio stations.
Jeff Bray, who teamed with Kramer for seven years on the radio and on the Internet, has moved from the area for a job opportunity outside the state.
"Jeff will be missed," Jack said. "We are good friends. We had fun working together covering Shelby County high school sports."
He added, "I wish Jeff and his wife the best of luck in their new career positions. Jeff said they will stay in touch with Shelby County high school sports by logging on occasionally to the SCORES site."
Jim McBee began his career broadcasting high school athletics at WPTW-AM in Piqua in 1984. Six years later he launched a lengthy stint on the air spanning parts of two decades at WMVR–FM in Sidney. In the past, Chuck McBee was behind the microphone for ten years at the two stations. The two have also totaled 40 years coaching high school football and basketball.
"The pair will be fine additions to the ScoresBroadcast.com team," said Kramer, who has performed play-by-play for 40 years including a dozen years announcing Ohio State football on television. "Jim and Chuck are very familiar with Shelby County high school sports programs. They have a passion for covering local sports like I do."
Chuck McBee studied at Arizona State. Jim is a Capital University graduate. Jack is a graduate of Indiana University and Miami University in Oxford.
"I have always enjoyed the sports environment in Shelby County," Jim said. "Chuck and I are looking forward to working with Jack and the rest of the SCORES team behind the scene to bring the exciting game action to the very knowledgeable fans in the upper Miami valley."
SCORES, the Shelby County Online Radio Entertainment System, plans to provide play-by-play and color for at least 95 high school contests this season.
Regular schedule and regional tournament volleyball is being planned for the Internet. This past June, SCORES concluded a 100-game high school sports year by following Fort Loramie all the way to the state baseball championship. More than one thousand listeners logged on to hear the title game.
Live game coverage can be accessed on the web at www.ScoresBroadcast.com. Most contests are archived for listening at the fans’ leisure. No subscription is required.
