NCAA moving to TV5
TUESDAY, 28 FEBRUARY 2012 19:51 JOEL ORELLANA / REPORTER

THE National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is dropping Studio 23-ABS-CBN as its official television coveror in favor of TV5’s AKTV starting next season.

The BusinessMirror learned that the country’s oldest collegiate league has agreed to a three-year contract beginning Season 88 with the sports-oriented TV outfit owned by Manny V. Pangilinan.

The NCAA management and ABS-CBN officials reportedly did not come to terms on the league’s certain demands, specifically on a juicier financial package and the airing of the men’s basketball games on weekends.

ABS-CBN’s second of a five-year contract with the NCAA ends after the ongoing Season 87. But NCAA officials deferred officially expressing their desire not to renew with ABS-CBN because the cheering competitions will still be aired this Friday.

It was learned that the financial package offered by TV5 is “miles ahead” of what ABS-CBN has offered. NCAA officials, however, kept the figures under wraps, and so did TV5 brass.

Studio 23 airs the men’s basketball games on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the first-semester action, and also the volleyball championships in the second semester.

For the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) whose contract with ABS-CBN expires on March 31, 2015, Studio 23 provides live coverages of the men’s basketball games on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays in the first semester and the entire women’s volleyball season in the second semester.

With TV5 on AKTV which uses the Channel 13 frequency, the NCAA will be guaranteed live weekend airings of the men’s basketball games and the finals of football, taekwondo and volleyball.

Nice one NCAA! Go AKTV!

[AltarBoy^_^]

I guess this thread has reached it's goal of finding out which mattered a lot to MANCOM of the NCAA and to us, their faithful viewers who needed a better schedule to watch our schools live on a weekend.

Our next topic will be venues. I will try to necro-bump an old thread for venues or just post a new Poll on the best venues that everyone would like our games to be held. But I guess we will need help of our Letranite brothers here as they will host the next season and they will choose the best venues available! And cost-effectiveness aside, we hope this will make our league grow stronger.

Goodluck to us in our new home media outfit and hopefully, we can start a 2012 NCAA PEx EB real soon!

James di ba naka break ang PBA kapag college bbal season. pagdating lang naman ng October magkakaroon ng conflict.

The PBA will open its 3rd conference in May. Tamang-tama dahil May ang pagbubukas ng MOA Arena.

ok ang package ng tv5. as per last par...

the NCAA will be guaranteed live weekend airings of the men’s basketball games and the finals of football, taekwondo and volleyball.

no... wait... bakit finals lang ng volleyball? then again, level up na rin yan since mat-tv na rin ang football at taekwondo.

[ylle45]

baka takot AKTV muna magcover ng full coverage sa women's volleyball?

pero seriously the race from 2-7 last season is very close...

[vricks14]

ABS-CBN only covered the volleyball finals of the NCAA and not the elims unlike the UAAP.

NCAA finally deserves this break.

dapat naman kasi yung UAAP and NCAA binibigyan ng exposure sa ibang sports, kaya yung iba parang basketball lang tingin dito dati dahil puro basketball lang inatupag.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Hmmm, sana on schedule ang pag-open MOA Arena, last time I was in the area, medyo parang ang dami pang kulang sa venue. Hopefully the venue will be completed as early as April!

[riou18]

My Bubong na ba?!! hahahaha para kasing cemento pa lang nakikita ko eh parang hindi pa finishing yung phase nila sa construction eh 3 months na lang deadline

[Rafiboy_05]

aabot yang SM MOA Arena, day & night naman ang construction nyan. para namang hindi kayo nasanay sa SM, basta nagtayo yan ng building, ilang buwan lang tapos agad

[AltarBoy^_^]

Anyway I'm going to close this thread and just move our discussions to freemindballer's new topic thread for AKTV & NCAA.

LOCKDOWN!!!
