From start to finish of the 16-day Asiad, Filipino sports fans were able to follow the competitions through Cignal platforms such as the free-to-air One Sports channel, Pay TV channel One Sports+, and its OTT service, Pilipinas Live.
“We were extremely pleased to bring the Asian Games to Filipinos. This was the Philippines’ best ranking in almost thirty years. Most importantly, Gilas Pilipinas won the coveted gold medal in basketball. The Asiad produced many happy surprises for our sports fans, and we delivered to them live and on-demand,” said Jane Basas, President and CEO of Mediaquest Holdings and Cignal TV.
The Philippines finished at 17th place, bringing home 4 golds, 2 silvers, and 12 bronzes for a total of 18 medals. This was an improvement from its 19th place finish during the 2018 Asiad held in Jakarta. In tune with the Nationals’ victory in basketball, Cignal TV has solidified its position as the Philippines’ leading sports broadcast network.
