Someone brought it up before in the past, but it would be cool if the NBAtv app was better. In a perfect world, it’d be a cheap add on to Netflix or YouTube. Or it’d even have its own shyt developed in that kinda fashion. I should be able to watch live games as well as watch old games all within the app. Not sure if League Pass has that feature but shyt like that would help out a lot especially if it’s affordable.

Semi-related, I wish Netflix would hop in and purchase the rights to at least a game or two a week. It would be a win-win

This just tells me the NBA is looking to get $2.8 billion per year from Disney (ESPN/ABC) and $2.4 billion per year from WarnerMedia's Turner Sports (TNT, NBATV) each. That's double what they're paying now.

That means, that's $5.2 billion just from Disney and Turner Sports.

So, any combination of FOX, CBS, NBC, Amazon Prime, etc... would get the NBA another $2 to $3 billion? Can't see it with NBC, FOX and CBS putting massive $$$ out for the NFL.

some the local sportsnets are owned by NBC/comcast/universal and we still don't get that theme music

Since October 2019, they’re using this

Is NBC ever gonna get NBA again in my lifetime. I just wanna hear the music

Also i hate the ABC coverage

FOX has Roundball Rock

But only the original track which is repetitive.

Not cuts like this you heard from 1990-2002 on TV that Tesh customarily made.

They need a mandatory Saturday NBA TV double header (some Saturday's are only west coast games right now) and at least 1 (8PM) Monday night game every week.

And compete with MNF for 1/2 of the season? Not gonna happen

 

[Cladyclad]

Amazon or Apple may get in the game

Apple been trying for 2 years to get people to look at Apple TV +

free league pass would do that

 

[gtj1982]

If they want this money players need to stop sitting out televised games. So tired of tuning in Saturday nights and seeing nothing but bench warmers and the stars yucking it up on the bench.
