Yea, I was wrong with the fact that NBC is willing to pay that much without NBA Finals included is a stunner to me. It’s gonna be very difficult for WBD to match knowing their current financial situation.
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

- Start date
If TNT loses rights, their top guys will get signed by ESPN/Amazon/NBC just like the NBC team when they lost rights in the early 2000s

Sniper out now on all digital platforms brev
If WB loses the NBA, they bout to pump out nothing but Thrones spinoffs 24/7
In The Zone '98
Superstar
There's no way top execs look at Shaq/Chuck and are like we have to bring these guys over
Shaq and Charles bring in revenue. Why do you think they do so many commercials?
THE SAME nikkaSWHO HAVE PERKINS ON THEIR "A" TEAM?
I don't know the ratings but I'm certain "Inside the NBA" brings viewers.
It's practically the only sports show I watch these days.
THAT SHOW HAS WON
18 EMMY AWARDS
Amazon would easily do it and would be a no-brainer move to establish them as a top NBA broadcast brand.
And if I’m understand it right, Comcast would run two games a week on NBC during the season? That’s a no brainer for the NBA, especially at that price point
HOPEFULLY THEYRE GETTING
A PIECE OF THE FINALS FOR THAT PRICE.
ALL STAR GAME BACK ON NBC
SHOULD BE DOPE.
Probably Tuesdays and Sundays
I think it would probably be Saturday night/Sunday night. I think NBC will do something like a doubleheader on Saturday (5:30PM & 8PM), and or Sunday (3:30PM or 5:30PM). I don’t see NBC or ESPN/ABC doing primetime weeknight games. I hope NBC gets to do full weekend games, while ESPN does weeknights, along with Amazon. That would be best of both worlds.
