If you are hard of hearing but attending a Mount Vernon sporting event, the Mount Vernon Mustang Vision will have a new FM transmitter.

According to Paul Fugate, the purchase was made due to the help of an anonymous donor.

“It will allow those with hearing issues to tune to a FM frequency to better hear the play by play announcing,” Fugate said.

Mount Vernon High School may be among a select few schools in Iowa who have a dedicated FM broadcast of the play by play announcing for fans.

Mustang Vision will also have more streaming options for the spring and summer competitions of the Mustangs.

Mount Vernon soccer games will be live streamed to Mustang Vision, and HUDL cameras have been purchased for both the Cornell and Mount Vernon baseball and softball diamonds for streaming opportunities this season.

Fugate said livestreams of the games average roughly 700 views per contest, and that there are advertising opportunities for area businesses who wish to sponsor the streams.
