Between the Lines Expands Bulldog Athletics Coverage
Between the Lines, a television program featuring Ferris State athletics, is getting a wider audience now that it’s on northern Michigan’s Fox 33 where it airs Saturdays at 4:30 p.m.
“The show originated two years ago on the University’s cable Channel 7,” said Ira Childress, a senior in Applied Speech and Communications who is the show’s host and executive producer. “It’s been a real team effort getting Bulldog athletics a wider audience. Sandy Alspach, who’s the coordinator of the Applied Speech program, was instrumental in helping me work on delivery and things of that nature to get ready.” Childress also credits Steve Cox of Media Production, who directs the show, and Mary Jo Winter, Between the Lines’ stage manager.
Two of the early guests on the broadcast version of Between the Lines were volleyball Coach Tia Brandel and football Coach Jeff Pierce. Childress had some special insight into his interview with Pierce, having played for the Bulldogs under Pierce’s leadership.
