                    [Summary] => With the PBA board of governors waiting for the new year to announce its new "coveror," the National Broadcasting Network Channel 4 remains hopeful it can strike a new deal with the country’s premier cage league for their continued partnership for the PBA television coverage.


NBN-4 chairperson Mia Concio said she was hoping to get a call from the PBA, awaiting a precious birthday gift in the form of a positive response on their bid to gain the exclusive PBA broadcast rights. Concio turned a year older yesterday.

This early, the TV coverage of the 22nd Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam next month hit a snag because of the high cost of broadcast rights pegged by organizers of the biennial event.


No figures were available although the high cost of broadcast rights for the Games set Dec. 5 to 13 has reportedly forced National Broadcasting Network Channel 4 and other local networks to stay out of the bidding.
