For the record, we love ALL Georgia High School Football and we know there are great teams and dedicated fans all over the state. We also know that many of the best games happen outside the Atlanta area.  But as much as we would love to showcase match-ups in other parts of Georgia, it boils down to dollars.


We have an elaborate technical set-up and a large production crew for our Football Friday shows.  If we move everything and everyone more than an hour beyond the Atlanta area, our costs skyrocket.

Overtime, production truck rental, food and lodging; you get the picture. 


As a public television entity, we simply don’t have the funds to make that happen nearly as often as we would like.  Please know that is the ONLY reason we don’t take our show on the road very often … it has nothing to do with playing favorites.


That said, if you’d like to help GPB in our efforts to fund our Sports productions, we’d love for you to be part of our team. You can find more information about that a gpb.org/support.


Thanks for watching Football Fridays … we love doing this show because we know how much you love the game!
