History

The launch of BBL TV was first announced on 19 August 2013, after nine months of development.[1] The online subscription-based service was scheduled to broadcast 30 live games throughout the 2013–14 season, starting with Glasgow Rocks against Surrey United on 6 October at the Emirates Arena. On top of the live broadcast's, the service included an archive library allowing viewers to watch previously broadcast games.

Due to the success and popularity of BBL TV, the service returned for the 2014–15 season with additions to the coverage including more pre and post match analysis and an 'in-play forum' allowing fans to connect and discuss the action as it happens.[2] The number of games to be broadcast for 2014–15 was also expanded to 45 following the announcement of Sportradar as the BBL's official betting data partner for the season.[3]

Presenters and commentators
gollark: It's a poor performance decision (although you can just use pypy, which doesn't have that), sure.
gollark: Although all the tooling and CPUs are optimized for the C model, so good luck changing anything ever.
gollark: You could do that, but you might as well use a sane, nonC language.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: No idea, perhaps something where the majority of data is immutable or something like that, with hardware GC.
