'''''The PBA on ABC''''' (later renamed as '''''The PBA on TV5''''') was a branding for presentation of [[Philippine Basketball Association]] games by the [[TV5 (Philippine TV network)|Associated Broadcasting Company]]. ''The PBA on ABC'' premiered on February 22, [[2004 PBA Fiesta Conference|2004]], replacing the previous broadcaster of the games, [[People's Television Network|National Broadcasting Network]] and [[Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation]] ([[PBA on NBN/IBC]]).

==History==

Due to poor performance and disappointing ratings, the PBA disbanded a [[PBA on NBN/IBC|broadcasting consortium]] between the [[People's Television Network|National Broadcasting Network]] and the [[Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation]] after the [[2003 PBA season|2003 season]], and took bids on a new broadcast contract for the league. In January 2004, the PBA began a contract with the [[The 5 Network|Associated Broadcasting Company]] to broadcast PBA games for one year, beating bids from [[Solar Sports]] and a group led by former [[Vintage Television]] owner Bobong VelezVelez’s attempt to form [[GMA Network]]’s sports division. The new ABC operation picked up talent from the former NBN/IBC coverage, including Mico Halili, [[Quinito Henson]], Paolo Trillo and [[Norman Black]]. Ed Picson was also hired by ABC, after a two-year hiatus from covering the PBA due to a fallout between him and [[Viva TV (Philippines)|Viva TV]] in 2002.

After the [[2004-05 PBA season|2004-05]] PBA Philippine Cup, the league and the network extended the contract for the 2005 Fiesta Conference. After the contract expired in 2005, despite a low amount of money offered, the league chose ABC over [[Solar Sports]], who had a much bigger bid than the former. ABC and the PBA then signed a three-year deal that expired after the 2007-08 season.
