ABA signs media deal with Canadian firm


The American Basketball Association, an Indianapolis-based professional basketball league, and Toronto media company Caricom have signed a deal to create ABA Media.

The initiative, inked Tuesday (22 May), was launched to maximize potential of a variety of media opportunities for the league, including television, radio, Web streaming, podcasting and other technologies.

Paul Riley, a Toronto-based attorney who focuses in the areas of entertainment, sports law and business operations has been named Vice President of ABA Media. Riley also serves as the ABA VP of Business Development and represents ABA interests in Canada.

NOTE: The Ethnic Hoosier is unable to find any weblinks to a company named Caricom, a word more commonly used to refer to the Caribbean Community Secretariat -- abbreviated as CARICOM.
