Oceanic Time Warner Cable, KFVE and the University of Hawaii (UH) have entered a deal to deliver pay-per-view sports broadcasts in high-definition in 2009. The PPV sports line-up includes football, women’s volleyball and men’s basketball games. Time Warner, UH and KFVE have announced last year that the HD broadcast is possible in future.
A price increase is expected as incentive to get fans out to games and the exact price hike will be known by the end of this week.
Norman Santos, president of Oceanic Time Warner Cable said “We’re still working out a few kinks, but it looks really, really positive, we’re still working out the schedule and trying to figure out some other things. I think the major consideration previously (was that) we all had some skepticism as to putting such a good quality product on TV; less people would show up at the stadium. So we’re trying to make sure we don’t detract from the live audience.”
