Breaking up that Turner crew is going to be bad news. They are literally the BEST in the business. I watch NO other studio shows anywhere, they are UNWATCHABLE in the fact that all they are trying to do is capture the chemistry the TNT guys have. It’s embarrassing to see them even attempt.

Hated Shaq at first but think he has really blended in nicely with that crew! Agree with you on the studio shows, hell I barely listen to the announcers when watching the actual games, they so very rarely add anything of substance and that's just on the regional/local broadcasts, just about every national crew gets the mute treatment from me. Would love for more feeds with just the arena noise and no voices over the action. Announcers were necessary back in the days of old black/white tiny TVs and without knowing the ins and outs of the teams. Now with 4k TVs and the internet allowing us to know the teams backwards and forwards, it really feels like the voices are unnecessary.

Any Google search on HCP that doesn't bring @theprunetang up as a top result doesn't have RC2 history worked into their algorithm and is therefore invalid.

It's kind of funny how ESPN, who is supposed to be great at sports broadcasting, has done such a poor job with the NBA. Their pregame shows (on ESPN and ABC), halftime and post game shows (if they even have one) are never worth watching.

It's a shame that Inside The NBA will probably not continue if they leave TNT, although I understand Ernie's loyalty.

There isn't a single draw to watch ESPN or ABC games like there is with TNT games.

Ideally, games stay on TNT and the ESPN/ABC tenure stops. But it sounds like Peacock is going after TNT's contract and not ESPNs.

The fact they keep going back to ESPN, which puts on crappy product (quick: name me one of their commentators), is a joke.
 
Something I didn't realize (don't know if it was posted)


According to the Wall Street Journal report, NBC will televise two primetime games each week and the package will include both regular season and postseason games. By comparison, WBD does not own any broadcast network and with cord-cutting, TNT has been steadily losing household subscribers. Per Nielsen, in October 2014, when the last NBA media rights agreement was announced, TNT had a TV household penetration of 82.4%, it has since plummeted to 53.6%.

I love TNT's with these guys, but couldn't care less about any others.

I also used to love Steve Jones and Mike Rice.

That's a good point. The NBA wants it's games to be available to as many households as possible. Looks like NBC is the best option to accomplish that now.
 
Honestly not sure which I want more.... the TNT inside the NBA group, or

Return of John Tesh NBA on NBC theme.

2002 was when it went to ABC, so that will be 24 years!

first thing....this is Canzano. So the likelihood of bullshit is high

second thing...ok, maybe...but it's a context free assumption that Jody is just waiting for the new media rights deal to sell. Yes, it should jack up the value of the Blazers; by how much I don't know. 10%?...20%...more?

but there could actually be more incentive for Jody to hold onto the Blazers than for her to sell

the TV deal is realistically tripling, so the increase of the value of the team would probably be significant.

If they think the team is worth 3 billion (probably less so now that the team doesn't own the arena), a 30% increase is 900 million more.

That's worth waiting for.

except if the media deal is tripling, that means that Portland's media income will be tripling. 2-4 years of tripled media payouts could more than offset that initial bump to franchise value

the only reason that the Blazer franchise value would increase more than normal appreciation is because revenues and cash flow jumped way up...and the Vulcans absolutely adore cash flow. If the Blazers market value increases from 3B to 3.7B in the first year of the new media deal, it could be in the 5-6B range by 2030. If Jody's executor fee is 5% of franchise value at sale she gets 185M in the first year of the new media rights deals. But it could be 300-350M in 2030 (adjust down if you think she'll get less than 5%, but it's still relative). And in each of those intervening years triple the normal cash flow will be deposited into the PA Trust

unless I'm missing something, I think the notion that the media deals will incentivize Jody to sell is off base. I can actually see where it would incentivize the opposite direction

I have posted this elsewhere - the new media deal will not increase franchise values much from where they've been the last 12 months. Franchises are valued by yes models of future revenue but it was already built into those projections revenue would go way up with the new TV deal.

Perhaps there could be a small increase if the deal is more than previous projections, but it would be nothing close to 900 million- $1+ billion or such.

Meh???

We just had a guy win 1.3 billion on the lottery.
Seems like chump change now.

I don't think they expected the tv deal to be this much tho.
