British Basketball has come long way since the mid 80's. However it's getting fans due to free streams from Sky Sports on Youtube. However I still believe it should be FTA, Sky own several Freeview channels they need to broadcast it on of those channels and have a weekly magazine show.

I haven't follwed the BBL in years because it's been on TV FTA then off again then I gave up following it. Until the last few months ago, when I saw a live stream. Sky broadcast one weekly NBA game on Sundays on Youtube again I didn't know until I saw it by chance last month. FIBA are streaming their unsold games and also doing live streams.

When Freesports launched people were hyped about it, however they use it to tease fans to subscribe to their Premier Sports channels or to show some obsecure cricket tournament with crap sound and picture.

In the 90's Eurosport was a great sports channel now it's mainly a tennis or cycling network.
