The HEAT will offer special pre-game coverage for their 16th annual Kids’ Day broadcast on January 4th and during the Carnival Scholarship Ceremony on March 14th. The team’s award-winning broadcasts have been repeatedly recognized for excellence, as most recently evidenced by their acknowledgment for a third straight season of nomination by the Suncoast Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for live season-long sports coverage – an award they have won in each of the last two seasons.
