Permian Basin Friday night high school football may be shown on your TV soon.

The UIL legislative council is set to meet Tuesday for a proposal to create a pilot program that allows the UIL to approve one live Friday night telecast of a regular-season football game or games.

Current rules state no Friday night regular season football game may be telecast live. Games can be shown on tape delay one hour after the completion of a contest, something that ECISD teams currently do.

Any game played on a different day can be telecast. Playoff games can as well, but the rights to all six rounds are owned by Fox Sports Southwest.

Previously, the UIL has said not televising regular season Friday night games has come from schools' fear that the atmosphere of the night would be lost as more people would stay home instead of attending a game.

That fear could be put to test should the proposal pass the council on Tuesday.
