Gwinnett high school football games will be available on Internet radio this fall, thanks to Lawrenceville's Play-by-Play Advertising.
Mark Blumen's company, which is entering its fourth season of producing tape-delayed television broadcasts, is adding live radio coverage for his North Atlanta Game of the Week.
The schedule begins Friday, Aug. 22 with Berkmar hosting Aiken, S.C., followed by three Corky Kell Classic games at the Georgia Dome the next day.
"This is another avenue for people who can't make it to the games," said Blumen, who handles play-by-play and is joined by color commentator Frank Fore. "I'm contemplating, if we can get the funding and sponsorship, streaming the video live on the Internet, but you've got to walk before you can run."
The games can be heard live at www.teamline.cc (enter code name Play-By-Play Advertising). They can be seen at 8 p.m. the following Monday on Comcast, and at 7 p.m. Wednesday on Charter.
The games will be archived on the Web site, so fans can listen to them whenever they want.
"That is the beauty of this," said Blumen, who also produces the weekly "Coaches Corner" show. "People can go to the game, come home and watch it the next week or come back and listen to it on Saturday morning."
Blumen said he hopes to do playoff games again, too.
