Basketball TV

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, 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 basketball competitions.

The 2007 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament was shown on BTV including the championship game.

With Solar Sports gaining TV rights for the 2008 Olympic Games, it is pressumed that the basketball games are to be shown on BTV, although no announcement has been made yet.

Aside for its foreign coverage, BTV is the official carrier of the Philippine Basketball League since April 2007 and also covered the Collegiate Champions League, National Capital Region Athletic Association and the National Basketball Conference, all on delayed basis.
