A 24-HOUR sports channel set to be launched next year on free-to-air television will provide some NBA coverage for Australians.

Channel 10 has outbid channel 9 for the broadcasting rights to the NBA. For Australians, this could possibly mean daily coverage of the NBA thanks to 10’s new high-definition channel. Not only does this move give Australian basketball fans their long awaited coverage, it could also provide Australian Basketball with a much needed boost.
