New NBA Media Deal: 11 years, $77B with Disney (ABC/ESPN), Comcast (NBC/Peacock), and Amazon. ESPN to license Inside the NBA

[#1 pick]

And this is why Disney and other companies want Adam silver to run their shyt. Adam gets Draymond and other players saying he’s a players commissioner and yet get the owners record breaking TV deals.

Everyone is happy. Even Roger Goddell changed and tried to be more like Silver

Adam Silver and Eric Bischoff will be in. the history books as the villains who killed Turner

Naw that was on Vince and his cronies. Apparently Bischoff had a group to buy WCW and keep it on TNT at a higher price but Vince had some snakes over at WCW and Turner who gave him the whole getup for pennies.

People tune into Peacock to watch WWE, I don’t think it’s a reach to say they would for the NBA

People who tune into Peacock for WWE know they want to watch WWE and are staying there to watch the program. Unless its an EVENT people watching sports like to flip. Thats why i dont watch sports on streaming like that, i want to be able to flip back and forth.

Im not watching any regular season bball on peacock or any other streaming service, fukk that.

I like Peacock better than all of the others. Hulu sucks. Paramount is and nothing is on Max

Bball fans got NBC back like they wanted for decades but may lose beloved TNT.

That's the most monkey paw ass shyt ever

People like inside the NBA show. Could care less if TNT keeps the deal or not.

Not thrilled about subscribing to peacock though.

I thought when you said Vince you meant that Vince Russo destroyed the WCW.

I don’t understand paying for this product

 

[Primetime]

It sounded outlandish three years ago when CNBC reported that the NBA could seek $75 billion in its next rights deal, but the league is on the brink of exceeding that mark.

The NBA’s looming media rights deals with Disney, Amazon and potentially Comcast could reach as high as $76 billion over the course of 11 years, Lucas Shaw of Bloomberg reported Thursday. As previously reported by The Wall Street Journal, Disney would pay $2.6 billion and Comcast has offered to pay $2.5 billion. Newly reported by Bloomberg is the value of Amazon’s third package, $1.8 billion per year.

Combined, those deals would amount to about $6.9 billion per year, which over the course of an 11-year term would equal $76 billion total.

The current NBA rights deal that expires at the end of next season was worth $24 billion over nine years.

There was no shortage of skepticism when CNBC reported in 2021 that the NBA was seeking to potentially triple its rights fees in its next negotiations, fueled by a decline in ratings that was particularly sharp and well-documented. The league was coming off of its least-watched NBA Finals on record in the COVID-delayed 2020 “bubble.”

Now, the league is not only poised to meet its desired mark, but to dramatically outpace all other sports properties outside of the NFL.

Per the Bloomberg report, Comcast remains favored to acquire the “B” package of games currently held by Warner Bros. Discovery. If successful, NBA games would return to NBC for the first time since the 2001-02 season and would also air on Peacock and the Comcast-owned cable networks (presumably USA).

So basically...

- Bubble salvation
- Play-in Tournament
- In-Season Tournament
- 76 billy TV deal

Adam Silver's NBA

Spoiler

David Stern could never
