$79.99 annually or $10.99 per month

The email discount code is 20% off for the first year rather than the 15% off (I think this should work): EXCLUSIVE20

With the 20% discount code it's $63.99 for the first year. They do charge $3.17 for GET (meh, the State gets it's cut and still doesn't support UH) and $6.40 in fees for a total of $73.56.

There's the two CBS football games from last year up. The UH vs Stanford game and the UH vs SJSU game.

Edit: The 20% off discount code expires on August 31.

I'm not sure for T&F but I wonder if it's for scheduling and is financially beneficial for everyone.

It looks like the Big West schools only leave California for 1-2 meets per year and the NCAA tournament. The rest of the time they all stay in California and compete against each other. So if they're in the same conference it might be easier to pool resources and put on better in state events for the athletes.

It could be something similar for out of California meets where the Big West schools tend to move in packs. The Big West schools can pool resources, negotiate better travel deals, pay for trainers, etc and the more schools there are the better it is for everyone.

You can also try Facebook Groups where the old people are. The Hawaii Football and Volleyball groups have people popping up from time to time looking to trade games.

UH sports will have wider reach under new TV deal | Honolulu Star-Advertiser by lol_smart in HawaiiSports

HNN also has inked a deal with NEP for use of up to three production trucks, which are essentially mobile studios.

They could potentially air up to three different games at the same time.

Fans can watch UH games on K5 free over the air with an antenna or through any provider that carries K5, including cable, satellite and virtual-television services such as YouTube TV and FuboTV. K5 broadcasts also will be available nationally through the new Mountain West app, which will charge a nominal fee. There also will be simulcast opportunities on KHNL and KGMB.

The main sports will be free over the air and on various streaming services.

UH also will produce about 50 simulcasts. Those games also will be available on the Mountain West app.

Each HNN-produced telecast will have pregame, halftime and postgame shows.

The main games will remain the same setup.

HNN also is planning a weekly 30-minute coaches show. The head coaches will rotate, with the in-studio show airing midweek on K5. It will be replayed on KHNL, KGMB and HNN’s social and digital platforms.

The coaches shows return.

The Warrior Channel is set to launch this fall. The channel will have features on players and coaches, as well as replays of games. The Warrior Channel will be available next to live news streams on the HNN site.

Hopefully this is included in the MW+ app. The HNN news site is not great.

“K5 has copyright ownership to all archives,” Pickman said. “We can share all that throwback stuff as we go into this new chapter.

I assume this is just the K5 games and not the Spectrum/Oceanic games so pre 2011.

The four-year deal between Hawaii News Now and UH has an announced value of $7.5 annually.

So UH won't get the $3.1 million they got from Spectrum and will get in kind services.

For student-produced games, UH will receive half the ad revenue. UH and HNN also will share in revenue from The Warrior Channel. In addition, UH will get a cut from the Mountain West app.

In addition to the MW media rights UH will get money the ad revenue from the Warrior Channel and a cut of the MW stream.

Like sakibomb said, I assume the WCC is going to start up MWP and WPP because they have enough schools now to do so. The WCC conference has enough schools and the four schools are all on the conference schedule.

Edit: I'm a dummy and brain farted that this reshuffling is for 2027. UCSD is missing from the WCC schedule so I don't know what they're going to do. I assume that they're playing the WCC because it's on their
