NBA, Amazon Has Framework Deal For Broadcast Rights

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Fri Apr 26, 2024 7:58 pm

The NBA and Amazon Prime Video have the framework of a deal to make the streaming service

Prime Video’s package will include significant regular season and postseason games, perhaps even some conference finals.

The deal will begin in 25-26 and last for at least a decade.

Good job, Skeletor! The league has more integrity than ever.

ESPN has the worst coverage and the way Disney cuts back their on air talent every quarter the coverage is only going to get worse. Amazon will be exactly the same especially considering the NBA has been inflating its viewership numbers for years.

I'm not sure how "integrity" is a factor in TV rights deals, what is your specific beef with Skeletor and the league here?

(I just hope TNT holds on to a slice of the pie, their studio product is much better than ESPN's. Or maybe Amazon just hires the TNT crew...)

Living in a Material World. If the NBA does more streaming and less Broadcasting viewership will fall off the cliff people already can't afford to buy a 4k car let alone pay for streaming services.

The league is a joke. They let players harm and bully other players on the court and let them get away with intentionally injuring another player in the playoffs. No integrity. Skeletor cares more about money than player health or integrity of the game. It's a joke.

So this is because Embiid tried to grab Robinson's leg in a game the other day? C'mon now. It may have been a shady play but it has zero connection to the topic being discussed. You seem to be confused and are posting in the wrong thread. This is an article is about TV rights deals that have been in negotiations for a long time and has absolutely nothing to do with "bullying"(really?) or a single isolated(albeit controversial) play in a game the other day. I'm not following your logic here.

What are you like 13? This is the softest and safest the league has ever been. Go to YouTube and look at highlights from the 70s-late 90s

I don't give a ****. This was the first post about Skeletor, so I brought it up, since RealGm didn't think the topic mattered enough to make an article and people are largely pretending it didn't happen. **** the TV rights deal, I couldn't give a **** less. The league is a joke and I'm going to keep saying it because it's true.
