PBA Commissioner’s Cup finals to be aired on TV5


The PBA Board of Governors on Thursday approved the moved of its broadcast partner to carry all the games of the Commissioner’s Cup finals over TV5.


According to PBA commissioner Chito Salud, the board “found the stronger, clearer, and more widespread signal and reach of Channel 5 to be appropriate and consistent with the league’s thrust to reach out to the league’s fans nationwide on a broader basis.”

TV5 has owned the broadcast rights to the league’s games since 2011, but has aired the matches over AKTV, its sports block on IBC-13.

But the television network has made moves to bring the games to its main channel this conference, with its agreement with IBC set to lapse in May. TV5 has aired several matches in the semifinals on its main channel, either as a simulcast or on a delayed basis.

“I look at this decision as an unequivocal step toward bringing the PBA to the next level and making it more accessible to our loyal fans,” said PBA commissioner Chito Salud.

Posted below is the airing schedule of the best-of-five finals on the network:

Game One – Wednesday, May 15
