NBA finalizes deals with ESPN, NBC, Amazon; TNT could match (www.nytimes.com)

The NBA and network executives finalized contracts that will make NBC and Amazon Prime Video new partners, while maintaining ABC/ESPN as the home of the NBA Finals, under agreements that will extend for 11 seasons and be worth $76 billion, according to executives with direct knowledge of the deals.

While the NBA and its partner agreed to all the language, incumbent TNT Sports continues to threaten to match. The CEO of TNT Sports’ parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery’s David Zaslav, has publicly stated he may attempt to use language in the current contract to remain involved with the NBA. If Zaslav goes through with that, he is expected to target Amazon’s package.

RIP Inside the NBA it was great while it lasted. Another great thing Zaslav has ruined.

I really hate that Amazon has its mitts in there.

I don’t want to ever buy products from them, so I guess I’ll skip the games on that service. (Or find alternative means)

the one benefit amazon may bring is 4k streaming. I hope they crush it in that area and shame the other broadcasters to up their quality too.

Feel like it’s still fairly easy to find alternative means thankfully but I do like being able to pause or watch on a slight delay without missing anything so it’s annoying the games are now on 3 different services.
