ABS-CBN has been an institution in Philippine sports for its live broadcast coverage of major leagues, especially the UAAP.
"Even among us, it’s a very definitive relationship," he added."Twenty years is nothing to scoff at – the organizations grew up."From an event once relegated to tiny gyms, volleyball has grown to be a major sport in the country with the help of the network. "Basketball was the main sport for the UAAP. We were covering the basketball games and the finals of the volleyball only and the finals of volleyball was just held at the old UP gym," recalled Ramos.
Although these sports belong to niche yet passionate communities, it gave tournaments outside the UAAP confidence to approach ABS-CBN for media coverage.
The closure of ABS-CBN Sports is a big blow to amateur sports in the PH. I spend more time watching it than the regular entertainment channel. Goodbye to NCAA, UAAP, MPBL, Womens volleyball coverages. This administration is stupid as stupid gets.
This I'll miss. I have been watching volleyball since 2006 when it was still offered for free at Blue Eagle Gym, until it became high-rating on ABS-CBN Sports. Another channel aired it for a time, but it was packed with ads that serves were put on hold to wait for ads to end.
