The broadcasting of live sporting events on FATV has been a tradition for over 25 years, and is one of the centerpieces of the Civic Channel.

Coverage can range from a single camera with an integrated scoreboard and running clock, to a multi-camera affair with detailed on-screen graphics and replays.

We produce live coverage of all Fitchburg High School football games from Historic Crocker Field, along with every meeting on the gridiron between the Red Raiders and their archrival Leominster High School. Our football coverage also extends to the collegiate ranks, as we also carry all home games for the Falcons of Fitchburg State University.

Another institution of our sports coverage is Hockey Night in Fitchburg, the banner for our coverage for Saturday night ice hockey games dating back to the 1992-93 season. For many years, we’ve produced games from the Wallace Civic Center featuring the Fitchburg/Monty Tech, Fitchburg State, and St. Bernard’s ice hockey teams.

We’ve also carried basketball games for many years featuring area teams, and produced live coverage of the Fitchburg Criterium of the Longsjo Classic, once the second oldest cycling event in the United States, up until its final running in 2019.

Today, our sports coverage is one of our strongest assets at FATV. Not only do we continue to cover football, ice hockey, and basketball; but we also broadcast other Fitchburg High sports including field hockey, soccer, and lacrosse.
