According to multiple reports, TNT Sports will be matching Amazon Prime Video’s 11-year media rights deal. “We’re proud of how we have delivered for basketball fans by providing best-in-class coverage throughout our four-decade partnership with the NBA,” TNT Sports said in its statement. With TNT targeting Amazon, NBC is expected to join ABC/ESPN, which has been partnered with the NBA for years, as a new partner whenever the league officially announces new media rights deals. Furthermore, ESPN, NBC and either Amazon or TNT will be paying $2.2 billion total over 11 years for WNBA media rights. Amazon’s deal with the NBA is expected to have six conference finals among its full playoff package, which includes the NBA Play-In Tournament.
