Basketball TV and NBA Premium TV will no longer be airing starting on 1 October 2019.
Solar Entertainment made the announcement last 26 September on its social media account, ending the 13-year and nine-year run of BTV and Solar Sports, respectively.
"Basketball TV and NBA Premium TV will cease to broadcast and operate effective October 1, 2019," wrote Basketball TV on its social media accounts.
Solar Entertainment didn't elaborate on its decision to cease operations of the two networks but sources said the company was in its final year of its broadcast rights with NBA during the recently-concluded season.
The NBA has been with Solar since 2001, which led to the formation of the two basketball dedicated channels. Recently, it shared the airing of the games with ABS-CBN.
Sources said ABS-CBN and TV5 have been actively pursuing the rights to broadcast the games of the NBA for the coming season and beyond.
