Features

NBA Premium is the sister channel of Basketball TV, but the channel airs more games and NBA-content than its sister channel or ABS-CBN (Free TV partner). Since it is also a re-direct broadcast of NBA TV, there will be no local commercial insertions and only airs commercials coming from the US feed and local announcements. The channel is only dedicated to NBA programs unlike on BTV which airs generally about Basketball, and airs content like Euroleague and FIBA tournaments. The channel also keeps commentary from US during the NBA Finals, and also a direct re-broadcast from ABC/ESPN, while BTV and ABS-CBN uses the World Feed and Local commentary, respectively. The channel also continues to air NBA-related programming during off-season like WNBA games on Pre-season games.

History

On April 10, 2017, Sky Cable, Destiny Cable & Sky Direct dropped NBA Premium TV along with Basketball TV, Jack TV, Solar Sports & CT (now defunct) allegedly due to Sky Cable's unpaid carriage fees.
