text: In response to Yogaman, no, OC Sports did not make sports broadcasts available to more people on the islands.  On the contrary, they decreased viewership by cutting off online broadcasts of Big West Conference (which had been free and mandatory to all viewers beforehand) to anyone who didn't have cable - starting last fall.  My area doesn't have cable, period.  I can watch live matches only while I am visiting in the mainland for one more week until I return home.  I am furious with OC Sports for denying me live coverage which makes it hard for me to be a UH fan.  Listening to matches is archaic and makes me wish I could watch them.  Now the Hawaiian Telcom subscribers can understand my frustration as well, and I'm not the only one any more.  We should all send a strong message to our athletic director to negotiate a fairer deal when this contract expires so no one would be left out from live broadcasts next time, whether TV or Online.
