After ABS-CBN dissolved their sports division team (S+A) permanently, the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) which still has an ongoing contract with the network is still in search of a new home to air their games.

Previously, PVL president Ricky Palou said that they will hold on with the agreement they had with the media network by hook or by crook, even if ABS-CBN will only show their games via livestream.

The media network decided to let go of all pending contracts involving their sports division including the UAAP and the NCAA.

“We’re also consulting the teams on what they think about this and if they have any preference on who’s going to be our coverer. When we finalize all these details, we’ll talk to the different networks and see who’s willing to cover our games,” said Palou.

As of the moment, Palou and the PVL management are in no rush of talking to One Sports and GMA as their potential new media partner.

“We’ve made contact with some of the networks but nothing is definite yet,” Palou added.
