THE University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) in partnership with Cignal TV will launch the UAAP Varsity Channel.
A first-of-its-kind channel with 24/7-access to everything about UAAP, the groundbreaking sports channel kicked off on Cignal TV Channel 263 (HD) and SatLite Channel 55 on Wednesday and will be available for open viewing to all new and active subscribers until October 15.
UAAP fans could also access the channel through Cignal’s OTT platform, Cignal Play.
Under the slogan “Get in the Game,” the UAAP Varsity Channel initially offers a rich archive of the best UAAP games from 20 years ago giving non-stop basketball, volleyball, football and cheerdance action, along with other league events.
The channel will also launch original magazine shows which will feature current athletes and some of the biggest UAAP legends.
“The UAAP Varsity Channel is Cignal’s answer to the clamor from countless UAAP fans for unlimited access to their favorite teams and players and a chance to relive the best moments in UAAP history any time of the day across multiple platforms,” said Robert Galang, Cignal TV’s President and CEO.
“To launch a channel when there are no games yet is testament to the strength of the league made possible by the blood, sweat and tears of each and every student athlete,” UAAP Executive Director Atty. Rebo Saguisag said.
