The Blade and Buckeye Cable Sports Network this week have teamed up to launch a Web site that will be the premier sports information destination for fans in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.

Toledoblade.com will serve as a portal for BCSN.tv, which will host content from The Blade for local high schools, colleges, and professional teams. There will be an enhanced statistics package available that will include daily schedules and more categories for sports content. BCSN will provide videos from its wide coverage area.

“The desire was to develop the best sports site for sports fans in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan, with two brands coming together,” said Brad Vriezelaar, The Blade’s director of new media. “It’s bringing together The Blade’s quality of content and BCSN’s work over 10 years. The natural place for that convergence was to happen online.”
