The Mountain West officially launched its new direct-to-consumer app (MW+) and released pricing options for the digital subscription Wednesday.<\/p>\n
MW+ will offer an annual subscription for $79.99 and a monthly subscription for $10.99. The app, which will be powered by Kiswe, replaces the old MW app, which was free for fans.<\/p>\n
“The platform marks a significant step forward in the conference\u2019s digital evolution, delivering expanded access to live and on-demand content, while creating new opportunities for fan engagement and revenue generation for member institutions,” the Mountain West said in a news release.<\/p>\n
Locally, MW+ will be the new home for all Nevada Wolf Pack non-televised conference and non-conference home events as well as the MW championships. Conference-wide, more than 1,000 live events will be available annually. <\/p>\n
“The enhanced platform will feature on-demand replays and original content spotlighting student-athletes, programs and initiatives, while providing new opportunities for student-athletes to elevate their personal brands and showcase their own content,” the MW said in a news release. “Streams will include interactive viewing experiences and real-time engagement tools on a technology platform that enables MW+ to deliver scalable, high-quality streams while integrating engagement features that bring fans closer to the action.”<\/p>\n
Fans who subscribe to the app can select which school they are supporting, which will provide additional revenue to that athletic department. Each subscription purchased through Nevada\u2019s dedicated MW+ page will directly support the Wolf Pack.<\/p>\n
To celebrate the launch, the MW is offering a limited-time early adopter promotion. Fans who purchase an annual subscription in July, August and September will receive a $67.99 rate, a 15 percent discount off the standard annual price by using code WELCOME15 at checkout.<\/p>\n
“Wolf Pack Athletics is embarking on an exciting next chapter with the Mountain West and MW+ will be a transformative platform for connecting our fans more deeply with our programs,” Nevada athletics director Stephanie Rempe said in a news release. “Through MW+, combined with our continued investments, we are elevating the fan experience with high-quality broadcasts while sharing the unique and inspiring stories of our student-athletes. Nevada’s College Town will play a vital role in supporting Nevada Athletics on MW+, and I look forward to our fans embracing this opportunity to experience the bold and innovative ways we will showcase the Wolf Pack and our student-athletes.”<\/p>\n
Nevada has constructed a new, advanced central control room in Lawlor Events Center that includes upgraded instant replay machines, updated graphics packages, a dedicated high-tech machine for graphics and a new switcher to cut cameras and add effects to broadcasts. The updated control room adds room for new positions during the broadcast, also providing hands-on, development opportunities for university students and student-athletes interested in pursuing careers in broadcast and production.<\/p>\n
Nevada football will have two contests streamed exclusively on MW+ this fall, including its home game against San Jose State on Oct. 24 and road game at Northern Illinois on Nov. 14. The MW+ app also will include Wolf Pack coach press conferences, live Coaches Shows, highlights, MW media days interviews and original content featuring the Wolf Pack community.<\/p>\n
MW+ is available on a variety of platforms and devices, including web and mobile web, iPhone and Android mobile devices and streaming devices including Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku. Amazon Prime channels will be added soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Mountain West officially launched its new direct-to-consumer app (MW+) and released pricing options for the digital subscription…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505231,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-505230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-mobile","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
