>> Amazon to get In-Season and Play-in tournaments as part of NBA deal
The Amazon deal would also include a conference final every-other-year and the previously reported slate of regular season and playoff games. Newly reported Monday is that Amazon is seeking — and likely to get — a Saturday night window. One would assume that means the end of ABC’s occasional Saturday night game.
ESPN, per Ourand, will carry only Wednesday night regular season games as part of its renewal, dropping the Friday night slate that it has aired since the 2002-03 season.
By contrast, the “B” package of games currently owned by Warner Bros. Discovery will only include a conference final every-other-year, alternating with Amazon. The rest of the current “B” inventory will remain in place, including NBA All-Star Weekend, playoffs, and a night of regular season games (Sundays on NBC, Tuesdays or Thursdays on TNT). NBC’s package also would include games on Peacock. <<
Its OT but impacts UFL also. With Amazon having more games and a conf final every other year - NBA will be less on linear TV including Broadcast. NBC will have games on Peacock too - likely some exclusive.
