Serving the Kansas City metropolitan area, the Spot, Kansas City 38 will broadcast a total of 13 MIAA football games to local television audiences in the greater Kansas City area.

"We're very excited to enter our third year featuring a MIAA Football TV Game of the Week on the Spot, Kansas City 38," said MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy. "Kansas City continues to be a great platform for sports television, which helps the MIAA office reach new audiences to showcase some of the best collegiate football programs in the Midwest. We also know that this exposure could help drive new patrons to The MIAA Network."
 
"With at least one live television broadcast on nine different MIAA football campuses this fall, our athletic programs and universities will have the potential to reach new fans, supporters, donors, and prospective student-athletes in a 200-mile radius of the Kansas City metro," Racy added.
