Can you update thread title @Anerdyblackguy ?

"NBA is seeking $75B for next TV package (Up from $24B): ESPN/ABC, WBD/TNT, NBC, FOX, Apple, & Amazon interested"

No problem

Finally got around to listening, Marchand makes it seem like the Turner portion will be split up into 2 or 3 games. I think both packages will be split because I think will significantly less games on linear TV on both ESPN/ABC and TNT in the next deal. I definitely think NBC is the favorite to get a 3rd package since they have both streaming and linear TV component with OTA and USA with cable. I think how split up the playoffs will be key imo, Disney will definitely want to maintain full exclusive rights to the Finals, but I don’t see that as realistic. NBC, FOX, and even WBD would pay a premium to get some of those rights. So I think a split of that is likely too. It’s gonna be interesting for sure, NBA will definitely make out well regardless.

I love how we as fans celebrate tv deals, cbas and big contracts. When the only thing that means is that they are charging us more.

It’s like Apple fans celebrating Apple increasing the iPhone to 3k

Americans are trained to think corporations and the wealthy winning is our win. It’s fukking stupid.

All the credible insiders have been saying for a while now that a lockout is highly unlikely. The NBA is making more money than ever, a work stoppage benefits neither side

75 billion for the NBA? Lol

Comical...

NBC is throwing everything on Peacock trying to make it pop. I won’t be surprised if they win and try to send some games exclusively to Peacock. They need all the help they can get. I have it and I barely click on it lol

That'll be terrible for the nba, completely awful

Smart for them to get ahead of the cap spike after the next TV deal. We don’t need anymore Mosgov deals.
