NBA approves new media deals with Disney (ABC/ESPN), Comcast (NBC), and Amazon for 11 years, $77 billion. Update: NBA REJECTS WBD's (TNT Sports) deal

[Rekkapryde]

Based on what media reporters like John Ourand and Andrew Marchand have been saying and reporting, my guess is that the media partners will be Disney, WBD, Amazon, and NBC. I think NBA wants another OTA partner and NBC has that and the Peacock element. Amazon one of the biggest streamers and the NBA would help Prime Video along with the NFL. Netflix is the dark-horse imo.

No more TNT???

Edit: Warner Bros Discovery nvm

when the league's charge so much

who yall think paying for this shyt?

Its yall the consumer

The TV ads and commercials will cost more now

The companies will pay it.

The companies will raise prices on their products to cover their profits.


This shyt is all a chain reaction .

theres no reason a qb should be making 40 mil a year

an nba player making 60 million a year

a baseball player making 60 mil a year


BUT yall keep supporting this stuff and dont understand the ramifications

it trickles back down to YOU the average person.

And then yall will come on the internet and cry about the economy and inflation.

DUH . Its how they're paying these athletes.

They're the only ones getting raises.

Will be interesting to see if NBC steals back the NBA.

Actually a lot of the recent spike in NFL and NBA broadcasting deals is driven by streaming. Fewer people are watching TV shows live, most are just streaming them. Sports haven't really been impacted by streaming so more of the live TV commercials money is flowing into sports.

Yup. DVR was the start of the premium being put on live sports. Since people are more likely to watch live sports there's a much better chance that the commercials themselves will actually be watched instead of skipped over like they are with DVRs.
