(Kimberly, Wisconsin) For immediate release – July 25, 2008

The International Softball Congress (ISC) will be holding the 62nd Annual Men’s World Fastball Championship Tournament from August 10 – 16, at Sunset Park, in Kimberly, Wisconsin. For the 3rd consecutive year, the ISC will roll out ISC-TV, and broadcast live web video coverage of 24 ball games. The web casts will culminate with the 2008 ISC World Championship Game, which gets underway at 6 PM on Saturday August 16th.

“We are excited about bringing the ISC-TV operation to Kimberly, which is one of the greatest fastball communities in the world,” said Dave Blackburn, ISC Broadcast Commissioner and Producer of the live web casts. “We will have viewers following the action from all of the fastball hot beds from around the globe, and all throughout the North America continent.”

“The ISC considers our video web casts as one of the most important and popular features of our annual World Tournament.” said ISC Executive Director Ken Hackmeister. “In 2005, our final year of “audio only”, we had 15,258 listeners. In 2006 and 2007 when we incorporated video, the numbers rose dramatically to 45,000 and 58,963 respectively. Clearly, fans around the world have embraced our video web casts.”
