When it was announced that ESPN agreed to license Inside The NBA from TNT, it was assumed that Charles Barkley would be joining but he was noncommittal in recent interview.
“I haven’t decided yet,” Barkley said while on the Dan Patrick Show.
“I’m listening to NBC and Amazon,” Barkley said. “I want to know everything that’s on the table for me before I sign in. I love those guys at ESPN and if we end up there I’m gonna do the best I possibly can. But they haven’t given us any type of schedule whatsoever, but I’d be doing myself a disservice not to meet with NBC, which I have, and Amazon, which I have.”
Barkley indicated he is concerned by what his schedule will look like.
“The No. 1 thing I’ve told everybody: Can y’all please give me a damn schedule? Cause nobody knows anything, Dan,” Barkley said.
“Like, at least at TNT I always knew, ‘Hey this is our schedule.’ None of the three networks [have laid out a schedule]. I want to know how much I’m gonna be working!”
