MAPAPANOOD sa telebisyon ang mga laro ng Chooks-to-Go Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) Invitational Tournament matapos makipagtambalan sa Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC-13).
Matapos ang mahabang panahong pamamahinga bunsod ng COVID-19 pandemic, magbabalik-aksyon ang MPBL at mapapanood sa state-owned IBC-13.
“You know we are very excited partnering with the MPBL because we are going to go back to where we came from,” pahayag ni IBC-13 Chairman Arturo Alejandrino matapos lagdaan ang kontrata nitong Miyerkoles.
“We were in basketball before and for a while, we became very quiet and you know partnering with them is really a milestone also for IBC and we are excited as they are.
“You know last year we have started partnering with Department of Education to bring classrooms into their homes via television, and because of that our viewership got up tremendously and I am glad that because of this viewership base you know the broadcast of the games of MPBL is going to be viewed by Filipinos all over the country,” aniya.
“Ang reach natin is from north up to Mindanao, so the basketball flag can go forward and be able to see basketball once again in their television sets. And we will develop more and more partnerships together, but again as I said we have decided in Channel 13 to be able to develop and contribute and one of them is to develop sports. And we are all excited and looking forward to December 11 for the launch.”
