Pay-television broadcaster Telemundo has acquired exclusive rights in Puerto Rico for a series of national team basketball tournaments in a deal with Fiba, the sport’s global governing body.
The rights cover the 2014 Centrobasket competition in Central America, the 2014 Fiba Basketball World Cup and the 2015 Fiba Americas Championship.
The broadcaster will show all Puerto Rico and US national team games at the tournaments on Telemundo while other games will be shown on the secondary Punto 2 channel.
Telemundo will show live coverage of 60 games during the Basketball World Cup in Spain, from August 30 to September 14, to mark the 60th anniversary of the broadcaster.
