Maroon Network pitches MDN Live subscriptions to fund Swain High School athletics
Summary
A promotions segment on the Maroon Network urged listeners to subscribe to MDN Live for $5.99 per month to support Swain High School athletics, promising access to all live broadcasts and automatic renewal with cancellation options.
A Maroon Network promotions segment on the Maroon Devil coaches show outlined a paid subscription service, MDN Live, intended to provide recurring funding for Swain High School athletics.
The promotional speaker said the monthly subscription costs $5.99 and "all proceeds from this subscription service will go directly towards Swain Athletics to help offset the growing cost of providing multiple sporting opportunities for our student athletes." The announcer described the fee as "only $5.99 per month" with an optional automatic renewal that "can be canceled at any time." The segment framed the subscription as a recurring revenue source intended to support athletics year-round.
Why it matters: The promotion describes a voluntary, paid support channel for school athletics; the announcer urged listeners to consider ongoing monthly support rather than one-time contributions.
Details provided: The speaker said members would have access to all live broadcasts within the subscription month and suggested proceeds would ‘‘provide critical support to our student athletes each month.’’ The segment compared the monthly fee to the cost of a child’s fast-food meal to suggest affordability. No contract terms, refund policy, total expected revenue, or oversight structure for how funds would be allocated to programs were provided in the broadcast.
Discussion vs. decision: This was a promotional announcement; no formal board action, contract award, or budget vote was discussed on the program.
Ending: The promotions host closed by encouraging listeners to "become a member today and do your part to help keep Swain County athletics the best it can be."
