As recent as 15 years ago, the NBA game can be seen on Philippine TV a week delayed. During the 70’s and 80’s, the delayed telecast was three months. Nine years ago, Solar TV came in and brought the game on a same day telecast in 2001. The evolution reached a first in local TV history when Solar TV came up with the Basketball TV (BTV) channel on cable TV in 2006. BTV carried a daily game live with replays during primetime. There were even days when BTV covers a double-header live especially during the premier week of the NBA season. Last November, Solar TV introduced the first 24/7 NBA channel in local TV history with the NBA Premium TV. NBA diehard fans in the country can now enjoy at least three same day games daily (live or taped) with encore telecast during primetime. Surely, this is the greatest thing that ever happened to the NBA-crazed Filipino fans. We are truly lucky indeed considering that most of the people in the US do not enjoy such privilege. Thank you very much, Solar Entertainment.
“NBA Premium is an exclusive local simulcast of the American channel NBA TV. The entire roster of recent shows - from studio programs to live and game recaps - are shot and broadcast in 1080i HD. Older games not available in HD will be shown in stylized pillarboxes. At NBA Premium, fanatics can look forward to tons of exclusive content - from behind-the-scenes features and all-access programming designed to keep them at the top of the game.
“Subscribers will be able to catch a unique roster of over 400 regular season games. The channel will also show marquee match-ups such as the Opening Week, Christmas Day games and special events (such as the All-Star Weekend and Playoffs) - all in eye-popping HD, of course.
“During the offseason, NBA Premium will continue to give fans their daily dose of hoops. Expect action from the Summer League Games, Women’s Basketball Association, and other awesome events on the utra-packed NBA calendar.”
