Tesh and NBC at odds over NBA theme
CNBC has reported that contractual negotiations between NBC Sports and composer John Tesh for the rights to the song “Roundball Rock” are still ongoing. The song was used as the theme for NBC’s NBA coverage from 1990-2002 and became synonymous with the network’s coverage of the league, but there are now doubts about its return as NBC prepares to resume NBA coverage next October.
Tesh recorded a new version of the song with a Nashville orchestra earlier this year, but his asking price may be too high as talks continue. Although unlikely, the possibility exists for Tesh to license the theme to Amazon or ESPN instead.
NBC used the original version of the song during its coverage of the Olympic basketball tournaments this summer, and Fox has used it for college basketball coverage for several years.

The return of "Roundball Rock" to NBC is in doubt.www.sportsmediawatch.com
Get your money, black man
Never believed that there wouldn’t be a settlement and also can’t see ESPN sub licensing Inside the NBA. WBD is gonna ask a lot for that to happen, my guess Amazon will license it. Well who knows, WBD might be sold by the time next season starts lol

Buried in the article is that Charter Communications just reupped with Warner Bros. to keep the TNT carriage fee the same as it always was even without NBA content and ESPN is licensing more college football games to TNT aside from the playoff games they already agreed to air.
Zaslav likely isn't going anywhere. He got exactly what he wanted out of this. Idiots said the backend rights either didn't exist or weren't going to save TNT and it looks like they just did.
Coli lawyers....
