JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – When the fourth season of the Jacksonville Sharks begins in March, more people will be watching their games.
Channel 4 will televise five of the Sharks home games this year, beginning with the game vs. the New Orleans VooDoo on Friday, April 12. Some away games will also be televised by The Local Station in conjunction with the CBS Sports Network.
The team and station have reached a four-year agreement that will make WJXT the local broadcast home of Sharks football through the 2016 season.
"The Sharks organization is extremely excited to partner with WJXT," Sharks managing partner Jeff Bouchy said. "Local broadcasts are essential to our corporate partners and our fans, and we look forward to making our brand part of the Channel 4 family."
"I'm thrilled to welcome the Sharks to Channel 4," WJXT Vice President/General Manager Bob Ellis said. "Football is king in Jacksonville and the Sharks are a championship football team. They're also a first-class organization providing tremendous entertainment value to their fans. We can't wait to make their team a part of our team."
The Sharks are part of the Arena Football League and play their home games in the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
The team has won the South Division title each of their three seasons. They won the American Conference Championship game in 2011 and made it back to the title game last year but lost to the Philadelphia Soul.
The games are faster paced than NFL games.
"It's the combination of a football game and Kiss concert," Bouchy said. "When people leave the Arena, they don't know what the heck happened, they just know they had a lot of fun."
The full home broadcast schedule is as follows:
Friday, April 12 vs. New Orleans VooDoo (8 p.m.)
Saturday, May 4 vs. Arizona Rattlers (7 p.m.)
Saturday, June 1 vs. Pittsburgh Power (7 p.m.)
Saturday, June 22 vs. Cleveland Gladiators (7 p.m.)
Saturday, July 27 vs. Tampa Bay Storm (7 p.m.)
In addition to televising the home games, Channel 4 sports department will produce a Jacksonville Sharks program, "Sharks Football Weekly," that will air each Friday night of the season at 11:15.
Each week, fans will get an inside look at the state of the Sharks with news, analysis, and in-depth interviews with Head Coach Les Moss and other Sharks players and coaches.
In the coming weeks, the Sharks and WJXT will announce the play-by-play commentator, in-game analyst and sideline reporter who will make up the broadcast team during the organizations' first year of partnership.

Editor�s note: This column was originally published on May 13.
�If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.� � George Bernard Shaw
I�ve never spent much time researching my family tree. Once while slapping a genealogy project together for a school assignment, I did a little digging and found one interesting tidbit.
Apparently, a few generations back, a relative of mine in England � last name �Bonham� � took revenge on someone who wronged his family by sealing the guy up in a barrel and rolling it off the end of a pier.
To paraphrase Mark Frost, was this a case of vigilante justice or just clean country living? Aside from the fact I might be related to a famous English drummer, it gave me chills to realize I share some DNA with someone who killed a guy via Tupperware.
The funniest bit of family lore to come my way in a while involves one of my great uncles. Many of my great uncles have nicknames such as Duck or Pomp, but this story isn�t about either of them. Seeing as this guy had an animal nickname, for our purposes, he will be referred to as �Uncle Squirrel.�
Whenever the family killed hogs, Squirrel would be given some meat in exchange for helping out. Curiously, whenever Squirrel would go out to his smokehouse to select some meat to have with supper, he always chose the absolute highest quality specimen he could find. Most people would use the good meat for an average meal and save the great meat for a special occasion � but not Uncle Squirrel.
After a time, someone finally asked Uncle Squirrel why he always started with the best meat he had.
�I want to know I�m always eatin� the best I�ve got,� was his reply to more than one relative. Uncle Squirrel always knew how to straddle that fine line between Zen and psychotic.
The most epic dose of Uncle Squirrel came when he decided to take his family to the Grand Ole Opry. At the time, it was a big deal to leave the county, so a trip to Nashville might as well have been a trip to the moon.
Having never been in a hotel before, Uncle Squirrel�s family took to the then-new Holiday Inn like ducks to water. Being a hardworking family with a rural background, the air conditioning and swimming pool were considered true luxuries. It took the hotel manager 20 minutes to convince Uncle Squirrel�s wife that she didn�t have to clean the room herself.
The biggest revelation, however, was this thing called �room service.� For people who grew up having to raise, plant, pick and kill whatever they ate, the idea of simply calling someone and having prepared food delivered to your room was astonishing. Not since he found out �Gunsmoke� wasn�t a documentary had Uncle Squirrel been at such a loss for words.
For starters, Uncle Squirrel ordered a bowl of butter-pecan ice cream. A few minutes later, Aunt Squirrel ordered a tuna salad sandwich and a Pepsi. It got so good to them that eventually the kids ended up ordering one of everything on the menu just to see what everything looked like.
After seeing Loretta Lynn and Roy Acuff perform duets of �Hello Darlin�, � �Louisiana Woman,� �Mississippi Man� and �Cold Sweat� at the Grand Ole Opry, Uncle Squirrel and his family packed up the car and prepared to make the long trip back to Kinston. Uncle Squirrel turned in the key at the front desk and turned to go, only to be called back by the hotel manager.
�We need to settle on your bill,� the manager said.
�No, I paid for the room in advance, you see,� Squirrel said.
�Yes sir, you paid for the room in advance, but there�s the matter of the $348 room service bill,� the manager said.
When Squirrel came to, the manager explained that room service wasn�t included in the cost of the room. Faced with a bill he couldn�t pay and a family he needed to get back home, Squirrel knew what he had to to. He sold the car to pay off the room service bill and bought bus tickets to get his family back home.
For years, a cloud of mystery hung over the events that took place during that weekend in Nashville. Squirrel told everyone back home his car had been stolen. That story stuck until one of his children let slip at a Christmas gathering why her father always threw any trash that was in his truck into the local Holiday Inn parking lot, or why he insisted on stopping in to take advantage of their free continental breakfast even though he wasn�t staying at the hotel.
�Mathematically, he figured he�d get that $348 back if he knocked �em off for a couple of donuts and some orange juice every couple of weeks,� his nephew said recently. �When they switched over to bagels, he just said to hell with it.�
