Basketball TV or BTV is a 24-hour all-basketball cable channel in the Philippines owned by the Solar Entertainment Corporation. It was launched in October 1, 2006, rebranding the Sports Plus channel.The channel focuses more on showing NBA TV related programs and also regular NBA games once the season begins. In its initial broadcasts, it has been showing re-runs of the 2006 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament and the 2006 FIBA World Championship.Aside for the NBA games, it also shows coverage of the Euroleague and the National Basketball League as well as FIBA related programming and the 2006 Asian Games and 2008 Olympic Games basketball competitions. The 2007 NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament was shown on BTV including the championship game, as well as the 2008 tournament.Aside for its foreign coverage, BTV is the official carrier of the Philippine Basketball League since April 2007 after gaining the rights from Studio 23. However, the coverage is on a slightly delayed basis at 5:00 PM. In late-2007, the second matchup of a Tuesday gameday is shown on RPN 9 but has since moved to IBC-13[citation needed] on Saturdays at the onset of the season-ending conference because RPN became the exclusive broadcast carrier of C/S. However the PBL was moved back to C/S 9 in November 2008, showing the first game on Tuesday.It also covered the Collegiate Champions League tournaments, and in the past saw a few National Capital Region Athletic Association and National Basketball Conference matches.Starting with its 2008-2009 season, the Philippine Basketball Association will also be shown on BTV, although on delay and only one game per day. The coverage starts at 11 pm Tuesdays to Sundays, with replays in the mornings. The live telecast of the PBA will be shown by sister-channel CS9.The channel is available throughout Metro Manila through SkyCable and Global Destiny Cable and is also available nationwide via Cignal and G-Sat satellite TV.
