ABS-CBN Corporation, the premiere media and entertainment company in
the Philippines, kicked off the new year with the surprisingly unexpected
launch of its new 24-hour pay TV sports channel LIGA and it would seem that
many Filipino sports buffs are starting to enjoy what the new channel is
offering to them since its inception in January 2018.
LIGA, which is slated to be the official pay TV broadcaster of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, is dedicated to provide local sports fans with enjoyable and action-packed premium content such as basketball, volleyball and football.
With the quadrennial international football tournament on the horizon
filled with much anticipation, Filipino viewers can follow the journey of their
favorite football players on their way to the main stage which will take place
in Russia from June 14 to July 15 as LIGA currently airs the FIFA World Cup European
Qualifiers.
Not only that, LIGA has began carrying the live broadcast of UAAP
Season 80 men's volleyball tournament and games of the current season of the
ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) featuring teams from all over Asia including our
very own San Miguel Alab Pilipinas. It also airs other sporting events aired on
S+A such as the UAAP women's volleyball and football tournaments and the Premier
Volleyball League.
Perhaps the channel's most unique offerings are the classic UAAP games
where college basketball fans can look at the beginnings and early triumphs of
many of the country's finest hardcourt heroes during their college years.
Interestingly enough to satisfy, I would say that these are just some of the
many reasons why Filipino sports junkies should tune in to LIGA.
Anyway, LIGA is available for Skycable and SkyDirect subscribers and
will soon be offered to those of provincial cable operators nationwide. Watch,
enjoy and indulge the finest sporting content on either standard definition via
Skycable channel 86, high definition via Skycable HD channel 183, or SkyDirect
channel 14.
