Naperville Sports Weekly Celebrates Four Million YouTube Views

Earlier this month, Naperville Community Television reached an exciting milestone - four million views on its Sports YouTube channel: NCTV17Sports.

Since its infancy, the station’s high school sportscast, Naperville Sports Weekly, has been committed to giving area students their very own “ESPN” moments by producing game highlights, feature stories and player interviews. All six of the local high schools are represented on Naperville Sports Weekly with every boys’ and girls’ varsity sport covered. By placing content on YouTube, in addition to airing it within the show on Channel 17 and streaming live at NCTV17.com, the station provides viewers with another way to access the content on-demand.

“For a small community station like NCTV17 to reach this number is fantastic and it shows the power of social media and local content,” said Liz Spencer, NCTV17’s Executive Director, “NCTV17 is proud to be a leader in this arena.”

Over the years, Naperville Sports Weekly has evolved to meet the needs of the community; increasing the types of stories and specials produced and by covering emerging sports as they grow in popularity to become official IHSA sports. The goal being to provide a truly comprehensive view of the local sports scene.

An all-new episode of Naperville Sports Weekly airs each Sunday night and viewers can watch the full episode on Channel 17 in Naperville on Comcast and WOW!, Channel 99 on AT&T; and through live video streaming and on-demand at NCTV17.com. Individual highlights, segments, interviews, features and the always popular “Play of the Week,” can also be viewed at NCTV17Sports on YouTube.

We look forward to five million views!
