Shawn Ching will serve as color analyst for UH football games this season

HSA Note: "Ching, 40, was a popular sports and news anchor for KITV for 14 years. With 18 months remaining on his KITV contract, he resigned as anchor in 2008 to pursue a law career. He is an attorney with King, Nakamura & Chun-Hoon, specializing in labor and employment law. He also handles some medical malpractice and personal injury cases. Ching will continue to announce high school football games for OC 16."

About how he can fit his color duties for UH telecasts in his busy schedule, Shawn Ching said:
"I have some flexibility with my schedule. I can control out of it if I have advance notice." (HSA)

About working with play-by-play announcer Jim Leahey, Ching said:
"I look at it as an opportunity to work with Jim again. I started with Jim back in 1993 and 1994." (HSA)

"It'll be nice to talk football with Jim. I think the real neat part about it is having the opportunity to go back to where I started from." (HSA)

HSA Note: "For two seasons, they were telecast partners when the UH football games aired on KHNL. This year, eight UH football games -- six at Aloha Stadium, two on the road -- will be shown live on Oceanic Cable's pay-per-view channel and replayed on KFVE, KHNL's sister station. Russell Yamanoha, who was the football analyst the past three seasons, will become the on-field reporter. Ching, a Roosevelt High graduate, was a center for the Warriors from 1987 through 1991. After that, he worked as the manager for what was then known as Rainbow Stadium (now Murakami Stadium). He was the football analyst for radio broadcasts of UH football games in 1992 before working with KHNL in 1993."

HSA Note: "While still anchoring the evening news, Ching enrolled in law school in 2000. He earned a law degree in 2003, passed the bar, and began practicing law."
