PPV revenue dropped for the third straight year, UH will get $2.45 mil in 2010

About how UH will get $17k less in rights fees this year, the third straight year PPV revenue has dropped, UH Associate AD John McNamara said:
"I think given the fact that we're still not out of the economic situation we've experienced the last two years, to have numbers that are consistently performing well has been pleasing." (HSA)


About the varied reasons why PPV subscriptions might have dropped from 7,347 subscribers to 6,038 subscribers, Oceanic VP for Operations Norman Santos said:
"While the economy may have had some effect, there are other factors to consider such as teams' past record, the opponents on the PPV schedule, diluted interest because of over exposure of the sport on TV and perhaps the price of the package overall." (HSA)
