Oceanic plans to upgrade the PPV broadcasts with expanded coverage

About how they want to improve the PPV broadcasts by expanding the coverage, Dan Schmidt (GM/executive producer) said:
"We want to make the experience of being a University of Hawaii fan that much better.We want people to understand how being there (at the gam e) is important. It is best to be there in person. If you can't, we're going to provide an opportunity for you to experience it vicariously on television and (expanded) pregame, postgame and halftime will serve to do that." (HSA)


HSA Note: "UH is guaranteed a minimum $2.3 million from its agreement with Oceanic and can earn more depending upon sales. Last year Oceanic sold slightly more than 6,000 packages and UH received $2.45 million."


About taking over the production of the PPV broadcasts, Oceanic President Bob Barlow said:
"We're very excited about building a team to take this product to the next level." (HSA)
