Indianapolis (March 17, 2011) – RTV 6 Vice President and General Manager, Larry Blackerby, and HomeTown Sports Indiana President, Rick Vanderwielen, announced today, an exciting new partnership between RTV 6 and HomeTown Sports Indiana.

The new partnership will give more than a million Hoosiers access to the HomeTown Sports product and RTV 6 viewers’ access to a mixture of live and encore sporting events.

They’ll get high school football, high school basketball, high school volleyball, high school bowling. You name it and we’re going to have it on this channel. Then you throw in the college sports from across the state, it’s a wonderful opportunity.”

RTV 6.2 can also be seen over the air to all television households in the Indianapolis market, meaning HomeTown Sports will soon be available to more than the 1.1 million Hoosiers.

“We’re excited to make our product accessible to viewers all across central Indiana,” said Vanderwielen. “By partnering with RTV6, we will be able to add digital wide-screen technology that will make our sports programming an exceptional presentation.

After serving the community for 8 1/2 years, HomeTown Television  has been removed from Comcast.  The conditions of this issue were beyond the control of our company.  We would like to thank those citizens who contributed their time and effort to the endeavor of serving the public through community television.  All-told, channel 19 was a staple of the Hamilton County TV lineup for 21 years.   Our company continues!  Last year HomeTown realized 40% growth producing sporting events locally and nationally, including multiple national championships.  We look forward to continued growth as Indiana's Most Prolific Producer of Sports for Television and the Web.
