Holsman: Blackout Bill Stirs Up Sports Fans

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A bill introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives by Rep. Jason Holsman, D-Kansas City, has been receiving a significant amount of media coverage across the state, including airplay on both radio and TV. House Bill 1986, introduced on February 3rd, targets professional sports league broadcast blackout policies, which prohibits local television stations from broadcasting games if the home stadium isn't sold out.

Since the introduction of the bill, Holsman has appeared in interviews on Fox 2 TV in St. Louis, 610 Sports in Kansas City, and The Big 550 radio station in St. Louis. HB 1986 received press in the Kansas City Star, the Lee's Summit Tribune, and the Independence Examiner. The bill has also been extensively covered in numerous blogs, including The K.C. Star's The Prime Buzz, Tony's Kansas City, The Missouri Expatriate, and Arrowhead Pride.
