NBA Premium was the sister channel of
Basketball TV (now defunct, same day as NBA Premium), but the channel aired more games and NBA-content than its sister channel or
ABS-CBN (Free TV partner). Since it was also a re-direct broadcast of NBA TV, there were no local commercial insertions and only aired commercials coming from the US feed and during some NBA games were not to be televised on
NBA TV, it used local advertisements and few from the US advertisements. The channel was only dedicated to
NBA programs. The channel also retained commentary from US broadcast during the NBA Finals, and also a direct re-broadcast from
ABC/
ESPN, while BTV and ABS-CBN used the world feed and local commentary, respectively. The channel also aired NBA-related programming during off-season like WNBA games on pre-season games. ==History==
