Shout out to all Sports fans out there, the ‘Worldwide Leader in Sports’ returns to Philippine TV in a partnership with TV 5.
Yes, ESPN is back!
TV5 President Chot Reyes is ecstatic to announce the official return of the sports media giant ESPN to the Philippines in a partnership with the local TV station. Dubbed as ESPN-5, TV5 and ESPN eyes for the bigger heights.
In a short but sweet introduction he gave in the recent launch, Coach Chot said,
“Our belief has always been that the Filipino audience deserves the world’s best in sports programming and this drives us to be better in what we do,” he said in a presentation. “By competing in sports, it gives us the chance against the giants in our business. There is no way we can compete with them in other fields. But in sports, we have a chance to be called #1,” he pointed out.
This is the mere fact why they are really proud to announce that TV5 found the way to bring back ESPN to the Philippines.
Future programs
Live games from leagues such as PBA and the NFL will be expected to be in the ESPN-5 block, also the locally-produced edition of the ESPN flagship program Sports Center which everyone is really excited about.
Through this ‘alliance’, ESPN, on the other hand, believes that quality sports coverage will finally be produced in the country. They will invade all platforms of social media, from TV to web to mobile, pretty much everything. It is, indeed, a 360-degree experience 24/7.
