#105: Stop Being an NBA Doomer — Ratings are Fine and the League is in Excellent Financial Shape
Manage episode 466962158 series 3546999
There's been a lot of discussion about NBA ratings this season. Given my background in sports media, I discuss why this is misguided and that the NBA is actually in excellent shape. We discuss the new TV rights deal, how the media partners make money, what variables will be needed to judge the new deal, and the advantages that the NBA brings to NBC and Amazon that the NFL and MLB do not, including far greater cultural significance. Enjoy!
