Campbellsville University Athletics to switch to monthly premium charge for live streams beginning Oct. 10

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — The Campbellsville University Sports Network has announced its new monthly membership platform for Tiger fans to stream CU athletics.

Memberships launch Tuesday, Oct. 10 from the Campbellsville Tigers YouTube page.

Viewers can choose from two tiers – the Claw United option, which costs $9.99 per month – and the Claw United+, which costs $14.99 per month.

The cost is based on a monthly option instead of a per-game cost.

"We provide a quality product for our fans through our streaming service of athletic events," Rusty Hollingsworth, vice president for student services and athletics, said. "We want to continue increasing our coverage that will allow our fans to watch more home athletic events.

"We felt a monthly membership was more economical for our Tiger faithful than a per-game charge. The membership will provide live coverage of the events as well as the ability to watch at a later time."  

The Claw United comes with access to live events and replay streams, while the Claw United+ grants access to chat features, badges, emojis and a one-time 25% discount with H+W Dukes Sports through the Tiger Spirit Shop at https://cuspiritshop23.itemorder.com/shop/home/.

Once viewers visit the Campbellsville Tigers YouTube page, there will be a "join" button, which will allow viewers to choose either the Claw United or Claw United+ option.

Matt Payton, general manager of WLCU, said, "With our athletics department continually growing, the challenge for us in broadcast is keeping up with these terrific programs."

Payton explained that going to a membership model allows Campbellsville University Athletics "to meet more of the demand by enhancing our equipment and increasing manpower."

"We've observed from afar for a few years while others used a pay-per-view model," Payton said. "We were patient and deliberate in our approach to join the fray. I can assure you that our coaches, student-athletes, and Mass Communications students are worth this investment."

Campbellsville University is a widely acclaimed Kentucky-based Christian university that offers over 100 programs including doctoral, master, bachelor, associate and certificate programs. The website for complete information is www.campbellsville.edu.
