With the agreement of the Turkish Basketball Federation and Türk Telekom’s digital television platform, Tivibu, basketball matches will be broadcast on the digital television platform.
Tivibu, which has been broadcasting basketball broadcasts in Turkey to its viewers since the 2018 – 2019 season, will continue to broadcast all matches to basketball fans in the new season with a new one-year agreement with the Turkish Basketball Federation (TBF). According to the information given, both ING Basketball Super League and Herbalife Nutrition Women’s Basketball Super League matches will be broadcast on digital television in the new season. In addition, the trophy organizations of the All-Star and the Federation will only be screened on the said digital television platform. The ING Basketball Super League will start on September 25, and the Herbalife Nutrition Women’s Basketball Super League will start on October 16.
Within the scope of the agreement, the digital television platform will broadcast live all the matches in the ING Basketball Super League, one of the best leagues in Europe. In addition, the matches determined every week in the league will meet with the viewers simultaneously on TRT Spor screens, as last year.
Making an assessment on the subject, Türk Telekom CEO Ümit Önal said, “With the agreement between the Turkish Basketball Federation and our digital television platform, Tivibu, sports fans will continue to experience the excitement of basketball on our platform, where we bring the latest technologies in broadcasting to users. We bring every branch of sports to the screen with our digital television platform, which provides a different television experience with its rich content and user-friendly technologies. Sports fans can access the excitement of sports events anytime and anywhere via Tivibu and TivibuGo. I am happy with the agreement and wish all sports fans the best of luck.”
TBF President Hidayet Türkoğlu said, “We would like to thank the basketball fans for their patience in the broadcasting establishment. Since our aim is to make Turkish basketball watch in every house in our country, we had a very sensitive process for our new broadcasting agreement.
We are very pleased to have signed our new broadcasting agreement with the digital television platform, which was our broadcaster in the previous period, and we thank all the managers of the digital television platform family for their valuable cooperation in this process. In the 2021-2022 season, the ING Basketball Super League will be on the digital television platform and TRT screens with increasing enthusiasm and excitement, and the Herbalife Nutrition Women’s Basketball Super League will be on the digital television platform.
We have always sought a better broadcast model for our clubs and fans in basketball. During the ongoing pandemic process, we had to limit the audience capacity in our halls to fifty percent for now. However, we all know that the enthusiasm of basketball is incomplete without our fans and viewers. For this reason, in addition to our digital television broadcasts in the ING Basketball Super League, there will be a basketball feast at TRT Spor, as it was last year. The Herbalife Nutrition Women’s Basketball Super League will also reach basketball fans on the open channel of the digital television platform. I would like to thank the digital television platform for demonstrating their trust and support for Turkish basketball with this great broadcast agreement that reveals the power of basketball.”
Müjdat Muratoğlu, Ali Kırçıl, Ali Manager, Güney Mergen and Kerem Gürel will narrate the matches that will be presented by the digital television platform. Tivibu Spor basketball presenters Şükran Albayrak and Volkan Günak, while Tivibu Spor basketball commentators Tufan Ersöz and Ersin Görkem will bring color to the screens with their analysis.
