KFVE, which won the television rights for UH sports, today announced the package.
In previous years, UH road football games aired live and free. Of the Warriors' five road games this season, two Sept. 24 Idaho and Oct. 22 at San Jose State will be available to Hawai'i viewers only on a pay-per-view basis. The other three road games (Michigan State, Louisiana Tech and Nevada) will air live and free.
Home games against Boise (Oct. 1), New Mexico State (Oct. 15), Utah State (Nov. 12) and San Diego State (Dec. 3) also will be included in the pay-per-view package.
But the expanded package of 15 events will include coverage of the four-match NACWAA women's volleyball tournament in Nebraska and the men's basketball game at Nevada-Las Vegas.
The season package is priced at $200 for O'ahu viewers and $75 for Neighbor Island residents. Last year's subscribers can renew for $175 (O'ahu) and $60 (Neighbor Islands).
Individual football telecasts are priced between $40 and $50 for O'ahu residents and $20 and $25 for Neighbor Island viewers. Single volleyball matches and and men's basketball games are $20 (O'ahu) and $10 (Neighbor Island); the entire NACWAA tournament is sold in packages of $25 (O'ahu) and $15 (Neighbor Islands).
There are no separate packages for each sport.
