NBA TV Rights Negotiations Underway

THE NBA IS CURRENTLY IN NEGOTIATIONS FOR NEW TV RIGHTS CONTRACTS THAT WILL CHANGE HOW GAMES ARE TRADITIONALLY DELIVERED. ACCORDING TO EXECS FAMILIAR WITH THE PLANS, THE LEAGUE IS LOOKING FOR DECADE-LONG OR LONGER CONTRACTS WITH STREAMING BECOMING THE MAIN DISTRIBUTION METHOD. WHILE ESPN/ABC AND TNT SPORTS REMAIN INTERESTED IN RETAINING THEIR RIGHTS, IT IS BEING REPORTED THAT A NEW TECH PARTNER WILL JOIN THE MIX, WITH AMAZON PRIME VIDEO BEING THE PERCEIVED FAVORITE. NBC ALSO WANTS TO COVER THE NBA AND IS HOPING TO RETURN TO ITS BROADCAST NETWORK AND STREAMING SERVICE, PEACOCK. THE EXCLUSIVE FINANCIAL NEGOTIATION WINDOW BETWEEN THE NBA, ESPN, AND TNT SPORTS WILL OFFICIALLY CLOSE ON MONDAY AT 11:59 P.M. ET.
AFTER THIS, THE LEAGUE CAN TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC CONTRACT DETAILS WITH OTHER POTENTIAL PARTNERS, WHICH COULD INCLUDE GOOGLE/RUclips, NETFLIX, AND APPLE.

​@@DJ_- I have bin saying this for awille if NBC gets it, what they could do is this first week starting the week after Sunday night football/ wild card Sunday
Is do Sunday night basketball like Sunday night football
NBA COWNTDOWN 7PM-8PM
NBA GAME 8PM-10:30
NBA post-game 10:30pm11:00pm
Or no post game or pre game
NBA double header at 7pm and 9:30pm
Plus NBC is aleady use to the news not airing 11pm Sunday nights due to football
