ABS CBN Sports YouTube Channel: Your Ultimate Guide to Live Games and Highlights
As I settled into my usual viewing spot last Friday evening, ABS-CBN Sports YouTube channel already had over 50,000 concurrent viewers waiting for the UAAP basketball finals. Having followed sports broadcasting for over a decade, I've witnessed how digital platforms have revolutionized how we consume live sports, and honestly, ABS-CBN Sports has become my personal favorite for catching Philippine basketball action. There's something uniquely engaging about watching games unfold in real-time while reading through thousands of fellow fans' reactions in the live chat - it creates this electric atmosphere that traditional broadcasting simply can't match.
What truly sets this channel apart in my experience is its comprehensive coverage that goes beyond just streaming games. Last weekend's championship game perfectly demonstrated why I keep coming back. The production quality rivals what you'd see on television, with multiple camera angles and professional commentary that makes you feel like you're right there in the arena. During halftime breaks, they immediately upload key highlights and crucial plays, which I absolutely love because it lets me rewatch those game-changing moments while waiting for the second half to begin. The channel has become my go-to source not just for live games but for staying updated with everything happening in Philippine sports.
Speaking of that championship game, one performance that particularly stood out to me was Gab delos Reyes' incredible showing. I remember watching him dominate from the very beginning, and by halftime, he was already flirting with what would become an MVP-caliber performance. The stats speak for themselves - he finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds, adding four assists and one steal to his impressive tally. What amazed me was how he was already just two rebounds shy of a double-double after the first two quarters alone. That consistent excellence throughout the game ultimately earned him the tournament MVP honors, and watching his journey through the channel's coverage made me feel genuinely invested in his success.
The accessibility factor cannot be overstated when discussing why this platform works so well. Unlike traditional TV broadcasts that require specific subscriptions or being home at exact times, the YouTube channel lets me watch from anywhere - whether I'm commuting, taking a lunch break at work, or relaxing at home. I've noticed they've smartly optimized their content strategy, creating separate playlists for different sports and leagues, making it incredibly easy to find exactly what I want to watch. Their notification system means I never miss important games, and the ability to rewatch full games or condensed versions later is perfect for someone with my unpredictable schedule.
From a content perspective, what I appreciate most is how they balance live coverage with post-game analysis. After each major game, they upload comprehensive highlights, player interviews, and expert breakdowns that provide deeper insights than what you'd typically find elsewhere. The community engagement through comments and live chat creates this vibrant discussion space where fans like me can share opinions, celebrate great plays, and sometimes even debate controversial calls. It's developed into more than just a viewing platform - it's become a social hub for Philippine sports enthusiasts.
Having followed various sports channels over the years, I'm convinced ABS-CBN Sports has nailed the formula for digital sports broadcasting. They understand that modern viewers want immediacy, accessibility, and community interaction, all while maintaining professional production standards. The way they captured Gab delos Reyes' MVP performance - from his early dominance to his crucial plays down the stretch - demonstrates their commitment to telling the complete story of each game. For anyone looking to stay connected with Philippine sports, this channel has become, in my professional opinion, an indispensable resource that consistently delivers quality content while building genuine connections with its audience.
We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact. We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.
Looking to the Future
By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing. We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.
The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems. We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care. This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.
We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia. Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.
Our Commitment
We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023. We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.
Looking to the Future
By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:
– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover
– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover
– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover
– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
