NBA Premium TV was a Philippine pay television sports-oriented network owned by Solar Entertainment Corporation.
It was a live simulcast broadcast of NBA TV, the league's dedicated channel in the United States.
The final program to air on this channel was a replay of NBA Playoff Playback on September 30, 2019, before signing off at 12:10 a.m. on October 1, 2019.
Upon the channel's termination, Sky Cable and Cignal in their joint statement said that they were jointly negotiating directly with the NBA to make games and programming available to millions of fans in the Philippines, “We have submitted an offer to the NBA and are awaiting a response.”[1] 10 months later, NBA awarded the broadcast rights of its games to Cignal and its sister stations TV5 and One Sports, with Cignal launching its own channel NBA TV Philippines on July 31, 2020.
[citation needed] 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.
