OT/NBA agrees to Record TV Deal .. Total $76 Billion
Only posted this because TV Money will eventually dry up between them and the NFL Deals … From the Article:
The NBA has agreed to terms on its new media deal, an 11-year agreement worth $76 billion that assures player salaries will continue rising for the foreseeable future and one that will surely change how some viewers access the game for years to come.
A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that the networks have the terms sheets, with the next step being for the league's board of governors to approve the contracts.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Wednesday because they weren't at liberty to discuss such impending matters.
The deal, which sets NBA records for both its length and total value, goes into effect for the 2025-26 season. Games will continue being aired on ESPN and ABC, and now some will be going to NBC and Amazon Prime. TNT Sports, which has been part of the league's broadcasting family since the 1980s, could be on its way out but has five days to match one of the deals.
The five-day clock would begin once the league sends the finished contracts to TNT.
The Athletic was the first to report on the contracts.

I don't mind the NBA coming back to NBC, but them leaving TNT doesn't sit well. And I don't like ESPN's coverage necessarily.
