The PBA’s 43rd season has been barely over but plans for the 44th season is already in motion.
Ahead of the new league season, the PBA plans to have its first press conference of the year on January 8.
The annual press con will be at the Conrad Hotel in Pasay.
Just like in previous years, the opening press con is where the PBA will hand out the official opening-day lineups for all 12 teams.
Aside from the usual press conference, the PBA will have its first-ever official Media Day set two days later on January 10 at Solaire.
“The commissioner and members of the PBA management committee as well as coaches and the key players of all 12 teams will be there to answer the queries of the sports media,” said PBA commissioner Willie Marcial.
“PBA personalities will be made available for photo shoots, on-cam TV interviews, live or taped radio interviews or interviews on whatever media form. We will give this opportunities for our media friends to convey talks, messages, greetings to the fans,” Marcial added.
The PBA’s 44th season will open on January 13 with San Miguel Beer defending its Philippine Cup championship.
