Expanding on its tradition of covering High Schools sports, The Sacramento Bee will
debut “The Bee Preps Show” on Aug. 26. Presented by title sponsor Save Mart and
airing on Comcast SportsNet California, “The Bee Preps Show” will be the only
show dedicated solely to high school sports in the Sacramento region.
Co-hosted
by The Sacramento Bee’s Joe Davidson and Mike Finnerty of All-City Preps, the
weekly, 30-minute cable TV program will feature video highlights of key
athletes, coaches and teams. The new program will air during the school year –
from late August to mid-June – at 4:30 p.m. every Tuesday, and repeat on
Wednesday and Thursday. After airing on CSN, each show will be available at
sacbee.com.
“This new
partnership expands The Bee’s commitment to covering high school sports in the
Sacramento region and means that high school sports fans will have more content
than ever – in paper, online and on TV,” said Tom Negrete, The Bee’s director
of innovation and news operations.
The Bee’s
partnership with All-City Preps also means that Finnerty’s team rankings, news
of college signings and recruiting of local athletes will be available on
sacbee.com. The Davidson-Finnerty team is renowned in the region for extensive coverage
of high school sports. Davidson, an award-winning journalist who has been involved
with sports for more than 25 years, will be joined by Finnerty, a 10-year
veteran of high school coverage. The CSN signal goes from the Bay Area to the
Oregon border, with heavy emphasis on Northern California coverage, including the
Bay Area.
“I am
thrilled to have All-City Preps join forces with The Sacramento Bee, the
region’s news and information giant,” Finnerty said. “We envision and exciting
future for the coverage of high school sports in Sacramento and Northern
California.”
