The 2020 High School football season will be a little different with 7 regular season weeks and then all teams starting the playoffs in what would of been Week 8. Our broadcast schedule has typically always been to cover all of the Atlantic Trojans road games and cover other KJAN area teams when they are home. Due to the altered schedule this season we will be mixing it up each week. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the season we will be announcing our next broadcast game at the end of each Friday night broadcast.

We are also excited about the partnerships we have developed with a number of area school districts that will provide live video streams of many sporting events throughout the season. Our partnerships include CAM with the CAM Cougar Channel, Exira-EHK with Spartan Media, and Griswold with GrizTigerVision. Student run broadcasts will be produced on these channels under the KJAN Video Network and we are excited to give the public an option to watch games online. We will be promoting the games available to you to watch on a weekly basis and you can visit each channel to see upcoming broadcasts and watch the archives.

We hope you enjoy our broadcasts and look forward to some fun football Friday nights with you on the radio.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Police say a 45-year-old man has been arrested after he allegedly intentionally drove a vehicle through a crowd of protesters in Iowa City. Michael Stepanek was charged Tuesday with intimidation with a dangerous weapon and willful injury. The protesters were struck Friday night in an intersection of an Iowa City street. No one was seriously hurt and police initially did not receive a report about the incident. Iowa City police say one of the people who was struck by the vehicle later provided a statement, leading to Stepanek’s arrest. A criminal complaint says Stepanek told police the protesters needed “an attitude adjustment.”

 

Des Moines school district sues state over virus rules

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Des Moines school district has sued the state, challenging a policy that forces districts to hold at least half of their educational programs in-person in classrooms unless their areas meet a high threshold of positive coronavirus cases. The lawsuit filed Tuesday by Iowa’s largest school district asks the court to reverse the state’s rejection of its plan to begin the school year with students at home and to prevent the state from forcing it to reopen schools “when it is unsafe to do so.” The court filing comes as the Ames school district announced Tuesday it would take similar legal action. Last week, the Iowa State Education Association and the Iowa City school district sued.
