“We’re (YSN) beyond excited to work with the team at Talk Williamsport and News Talk 104.1 & 1600 producing live High School sporting events in Pennsylvania. Growing into Pennsylvania continues our commitment of giving local athletes a platform to showcase their talents. This partnership will amplify our efforts, and will provide an even better experience for our fans, and sponsors.” D.J. Yokley, Founder & CEO of YSN.
Yokley added, “It’s been a team effort between our two organizations, but through the entire process the focus has been firmly on the best experience for the student-athletes and their families.”
“D.J. and I go back many years to our days in Class B Baseball. In reconnecting over the years we have finally reached our goal of the best way to deliver our award winning play-by-play broadcasts of high school events to our audience. It made perfect sense to partner with YSN and the great team D.J. has put together at YSN and their model of success.”, Todd Bartley, Owner of Talk Williamsport, News Talk 104.1 & 1600.
“YSN is unique in that they are not reliant on a social media platform for the broadcasts; instead YSN broadcasts can be shared on social media and are available in live format as well as on-demand after the game concludes”, Bartley added.
Branding will include both organizations on every broadcast. Announcing crews will be announced in the near future.

About Your Sports Network (YSN)
Your Sports Network (YSN) was a vision of two friends who thought there was a link missing from the chain of local sports, and the delivery to those who enjoy them. With the evolution of technology, there should be little reason that you should never be able to stay current with live games, matches, and events at the local level.
Highlights are great when the game is already over. By then, you already know the score, and why waste your time? We believe every event should be streamed, and the community that surrounds that team, or event should benefit with low cost marketing and advertising to reach loyal fans, family, and friends in that specific market.
We are built on 3 pillars:
LOYAL: We encourage ‘Homers’ in our broadcasts. It’s passion that drives us.
LOCAL: Understanding that each event will have a different feel, we support local businesses of all sizes with our media.
LIVE: Nobody likes re-runs. Living through each play as it happens, sitting on the edge of your seat.
We’re online, and in your community. We are YSN.
