37 million users across the United States have lost copyright changes + TV users NBA TV faces suspension and shutdown

Basketball

August 16th According to US media reports, according to the schedule of the new season, NBA TV will not have any games to broadcast, and it is likely that the playoffs will not be broadcast. NBA TV is at risk of suspension.

It is understood that NBA TV is a paid TV channel owned by the NBA League and has been operated by TNT since November 1999. But with the change of the NBA copyright agreement partners, ESPN, NBC and Amazon have taken over all the game broadcasts, and TNT and NBA TV have been forgotten in the corner. Moreover, the loss of TV users at this stage is serious, and people have no reason to watch NBA TV. According to statistics, as of 2023, there were about 37 million NBA TV users across the United States, which saw a significant decrease compared to the peak of 61 million users a decade ago.

It is reported that NBA TV will broadcast G League games and other NBA-produced TV shows in the future, but NBA TV's operation and program production have not been good for many years, and the future of NBA TV is also confusing, and many internal staff are confused about their future. According to internal employees, it is not yet known whether the alliance has plans for this. The most optimistic estimate is that NBA TV can last for a season and then it may be silently suspended.
