By August, the broadcast coverage of PBA games shall have gone virtuallyon all local TV networks as the premier cage league is again tying up with its maiden carrier RPN-9, through block-timer Solar Sports.

The PBA board of governors, in a meeting yesterday, accepted the offer of Solar Sports to be the league's broadcast partners inthe next three years - a deal reportedly worth P508 million.

PBA commissioner Sonny Barrios said the two parties will sign a memorandum of understanding in the next few days while working onthe fine prints of the actual contract.

The first official PBA activity to be covered by Solar Sports is the 2008 Rookie Camp in August then the Annual Rookie Draft a fewdays after.

"Basically, the PBA got what it wanted. They (Solar) said yes to practically everything we asked for. Solar didn't playhard ball despite the withdrawal of ABS-CBN. They're very accommodating," said Barrios.

Barrios said they were given commitment by Solar Sports to make the best possible coverage of the PBA games on RPN-9 plus bonusfeatures or segments on Solar Sports cable channel Basketball TV (BTV).

"The plan, in general, is to make the PBA classy again. We'll cater to the A, B and upper C classes and not just the masa.We will encompass all social classes, going through all the demographics," said Solar Sports vice president for sales and marketing JudeTurcuato.

"It's easy to say that we'll make the PBA coverage more beautiful. But we're hoping that the PBA be extra hotagain with our help," added Turcuato who had worked as marketing chief of the PBA a few years back.

Curiously, Solar Sports now has under its wings the broadcast rights of the NBA, PBL and the PBA. It has also gained the exclusivebroadcast rights of the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Summer Olympics and the 2010 Calgary Winter Games.
To improve in particular the PBA gamescoverage, Solar Sports is said to be bringing brand-new coverage equipment worth P45 million.
 
^Yay! Now, PBA games on TV won't appear like they're older than NBA retro games.

On the contrary, I just thought that Studio 23 would've been the best choice for the coverage.

BTV writers don't impress me that much

From top left- Alvin Patrimonio (Playoff XIIIs), Espino, Marlou Aquino (I think its a GH Fila), Ej Feihl, Andy Seigle (Jordan XIII white/red), Jun Limpot(Jordan XII white/red), Vergel Meneses (Adidas Dominion- GRAIL status)

From bottom left- Jojo Lastimosa (some Filas), Allan Caidic, Olsen Racela (Jordan XIII white/red), Johnny Abararientos (pretty sure its an Answer), JeffCaraiaso (Jumpman pro), and Kenneth Duremdes (Adidas Dominion). I hope I got everything right.
