"The Charlotte Hornets expect to air five regular-season games on local TV this season, adopting NBA teams’ recent shift from putting all games on cable and streaming. The channel and games have yet to be determined."

Seems like a random number, curious what the significance of just doing five games is.

Will that boost viewership for those games?

Was hoping for a different sort of TV news where Amazon was stepping in, oh well.

Prepare for non-stop betting ads now, even more than before.

still listed as Bally on my channel guide with Spectrum. I've been worried they might only be carrying the preseason games but I'll be very happy if show the whole season.

Big news.

Also, in case anyone else has League Pass, I noticed that recently games are immediately available on League Pass after they are over. I found this out because the Fan Duel app (just like the Bally one before it) messes up the stream if you are behind and start it while it is live but haven't finished by the time it ends. Wonder if that'll keep happening after this switch.

Either way, very happy to move to a more stable platform.
