Time Warner to show high-school games
Time Warner Cable has given the state's association for high school athletics sponsorship in exchange for exclusive rights to show high-school championship games.
The cable provider, which operates in the Triad, announced today that it will show the state's eight high-school football championships next month on channel 1234, a free Video on Demand station available to digital subscribers. According to a news release, Time Warner has become the "Official Television Partner of the NCHSAA" and a major corporate sponsor (i.e. they've tossed an unknown amount of cash at the association).
Time Warner also plans to show championship basketball games for boys and girls teams in March and will consider televising other sports championships, according to the release.
The carrier's 24-hour news network, News 14 Carolina, will show the 4AA state championship game at 8 p.m. Dec. 9. News 14 Carolina recently launched in the Triad area.

Is this schedule correct? At http://northcarolina.ihigh.com/articles/nc_hs_football_games__week_7 it has the 3A championship game at Carter Finley instead of Kenan.
