Manila, Philippines – Cignal TV, the television arm of media company Cignal, has unveiled ‘Pilipinas Live’, its own over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform dedicated to showcase sports events.
Through the new platform, users can watch sports live broadcasts including behind-the-scenes action, sports news and updates, interactive fan experiences, and other exclusive features.
Moreover, the platform also offers multiple screen viewing, with users able to watch plays from various camera points, as well as get insights from special hosts and guests and engage with fellow sport fans’ perspectives while sharing your own thoughts with other like-minded viewers on the app.
Jane Jimenez Basas, president and CEO of Cignal TV, said, “Pilipinas Live was created to reshape the landscape of sports viewing. It offers the ultimate digital experience to Filipino sports enthusiasts wherever they may be. The innovation behind the app’s development and rollout represents our steadfast commitment to providing only the best to the Pinoy sports fan.”
Basas added, “It will also stream this year’s most anticipated basketball event, the FIBA World Cup 2023 which will feature the best teams around the world. With Pilipinas Live, you can watch not just all the games that will be played in the Philippines, but also all the games in Japan and Indonesia. Of course, fans of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) and the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) will also enjoy watching their favourite games on the streaming platform.”
Cignal TV previously tapped Canadian software company Quickplay to aid in its development for the sports app, as well as expanding its existing ‘Cignal Play’ streaming service.
