GMA Network Sports Memories
Back in the 1980s, when the Philippines was still recovering from the Ferdinand Marcos regime, GMA-7 was known to air the NBA and NFL games on a delayed basis. During the mid-1990s, their defunct UHF channel Citynet-27 aired NBA games on weekends. At the time, GMA-7 was the network of choice for sports aficionados, with the exception of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) games aired on PTV-4 and later IBC-13.
