Charles Barkley is “100 percent” concerned about TNT’s future with the NBA. TNT Sports is battling NBC for the final piece of the NBA’s next TV rights deal. Its current contract with the NBA ends after the 2024-25 season. When asked by ESPN Chicago about the future of "Inside the NBA," Barkley, who has been part of the broadcast since 2000, said those involved in the studio show "have zero idea what’s going to happen."

The custom NBA in season court designs are a great example of designing for the internet, not for TV. The basketball courts have been polarizing amongst fans and painful to some viewers on TV. What strikes me is they must really pop on quick highlights online or in social media, but seem completely detrimental to long term viewing. The “in season tournament” is already there to try and change viewing dynamics where fans didn’t engage until the season’s stakes increased, are the designs another shift in what viewing experience the #nba is prioritizing? https://lnkd.in/eJjwWkru

With the NBA Finals set to begin, the league is working behind the scenes to finalize a massive TV rights deal worth $76 billion over 11 years. In this piece, Joe Flint, Isabella Simonetti and I explain how NBC, Amazon and ESPN wound up the likely winners, with exclusive details on the packages and negotiations and why Warner’s TNT isn’t in the mix. This isn’t just any sports deal: it’s a defining moment for the industry. Media companies are placing huge bets on an uncertain future in streaming. NBC is committing some $28 billion (more than Warner Bros. Discovery’s entire market value). As we report, NBC will likely be raising Peacock’s prices and making big budget cuts, as a result of becoming an NBA partner. As the league cashes in, so will stars like Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum, who are set to duel in Game 1 on Thursday.

After my post earlier this week about media rights, the Premier League has signed a new TV rights deal broadly defined as the greatest ever, but was it really? Great insight from Paul Macdonald in the article linked in the comments below. Thanks Roger Mitchell for the recommendation. Also I recommend Luis Vicente knowledgeable point of view also in the comments. One analysis normally done is comparing this deal and overall Premier League economics with American leagues. Helpful and understandable comparison but often lacking the proper context. I've seen Mark Thompson talking about this as well, but the fundamentals of both are so completely different, from the fact that the US is a massive domestic market, where leagues are essentially a profitable monopoly for those involved, with salary cap, draft and with very little revenues risk compared with European football, where qualification for Champions League, relegation have a massive impact that talking about franchise values and TV deals etc without this context is a profoundly unfair comparison.

1500% rise in WSL viewership from 2020/21 to 2022/23 which could result in over 2x increase in the value of media rights for the Women's Super League, according to analysis by Nielsen Sports and Prospect in their new report. WSL have made all 132 league matches available for broadcast in the tender for the next season unlike in the previous deal where only 57 matches were available to Sky and BBC. Interest has been shown by TNT Sports and DAZN, while Sky and BBC are also likely to bid to renew their partnership with WSL. (Mail Sport) The staggering growth of interest and focus on Women's Sport continues, as seen from the renaming of a London Overground line to 'The Lioness Line' last week. It would be really interesting to see the new value placed on Women's Super League media rights by the broadcasters for the 2023/24 season. #WSL #WomeninSport #sportsbroadcasting #sportsbusiness #sportsbiz #mediarights
❓Should the WSL be allowed to televise games at Saturday 3pm? ❓What is the value of their media rights for next season? ❓What is the correct mix of FTA and Pay TV? With the WSL out to tender for next season's media rights, Prospect and Nielsen have collaborated to answer the above questions and more. In a rush? Key takeaways below: 🚀 WSL viewership has grown from 0.9M (20/21 season) to 14.8M (22/23) 💎 The rights could be worth £15.6M, 2x the current fee ⚽️ The Sunday 11:30 - 13:00 timeslot drew the biggest audiences Phelan Hill MBE, OLY, Gordon Hamilton-Fairley, Jack Nixon, Kirsten Crane, Claire Hilton, ACA, Nick Meacham, Joe Lynskey #womensfootball #bbc #skysports #sportsbusiness #sportsbiz

The NBA’s current contracts with ESPN and Warner Bros Discovery’s (WBD) TNT Sports expire at the end of the 2024/25 season and are worth a combined US$24 billion. The league targets a major revenue increase, with some observers believing it could double or even triple its annual domestic broadcast income. According to The Athletic's Andrew Marchand, the “framework” of a deal between the NBA and Amazon calls for games broadcast on Prime Video for at “least the next decade.” The deal would begin starting in the 2025-26 season.
