Founded in the late 2010s by a team of sports editors, broadcasters, and digital staff at Trib Total Media, Trib HSSN (the TribLive High School Sports Network) came into being to offer a new way to follow high school sports in western Pennsylvania. The idea sparked when the TribLIVE sports team saw that many fans, parents, and students wanted live broadcasts, scores, and coverage of local high school games all in one online place, instead of having to rely only on print box scores or limited radio coverage. They decided to build a digital network focused fully on high school athletics. Today, Trib HSSN is owned and operated by Trib Total Media, the company behind the Tribune‑Review newspaper and TribLIVE.com. Today, Trib HSSN is mainly focused on sports, especially high school sports. They cover football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, wrestling, and other high school competitions, offering live and recorded game broadcasts, scores, rankings, and feature stories about student‑athletes and their schools. They are based in the Pittsburgh area and concentrate on teams in western Pennsylvania, particularly those in the WPIAL, becoming a key destination for people who want to keep up with local high school sports. One interesting fact: A unique fact about Trib HSSN is that it serves as the official broadcast network for WPIAL high school sports. College students might be surprised to learn that many local athletes get their first real play‑by‑play coverage and live online broadcast experience through Trib HSSN, long before they ever appear on college or national sports networks.
