NBC has acquired the broadcast rights to NBA games, leading to the end of TNT's iconic show 'Inside the NBA' after this season. Turner Sports failed to match offers from NBC and Amazon, losing the NBA rights despite having matching rights.
TNT Sports division chairman and chief executive officer, addressed the situation surrounding the NBA and provided an update at the WBD Upfront. 🔗https://t.co/KwdGOl3TY0 https://t.co/fxaU5GPQo2
Many felt WBD (TNT) would not lose the NBA due to their 'matching rights' for third party offers. New reports suggest they have tried and failed to use these rights to match offers put forth by Amazon as well as NBC. https://t.co/wQeDFDstGc
Inside the NBA forever https://t.co/ijvUkMnwdv
If Turner misses out on the next media rights deal, could a different network make a studio show that fills the void 'Inside the NBA' would leave behind? https://t.co/wRPGYNaBOa
NBC would be pretty shortsighted not to at least try to recreate Inside The NBA, right? Right?!?
TNT outbid by NBC for broadcast rights to the NBA. "Inside the NBA" is in its final season. #NBA
with NBC purchasing rights to NBA games, looks like "Inside the NBA" on TNT with Ernie, Charles, Kenny and Shaq will just be a memory after this season. Enjoy the ride. One of the great sports shows ever.
