TNT Sports Matches Amazon Prime Video's C-Package NBA Deal with Twist: Mavericks Tracker

TNT Sports matched Amazon Prime Video's 11-year agreement, but such an action doesn't finalize negotiations.

JULY 22 INSIDE THE NBA IS SAVED—OR IS IT? After contract posturing and over a year of denying the fact, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav realizes the power of live sports. TNT Sports matched Amazon Prime Video's 11-year agreement, which grants the massive company what is deemed the C-Package of NBA media coverage.

However, Adam Silver and NBA officials have the right to veto Zaslav's decision and reportedly are intending to execute such a maneuver.  

Turner Sports has aired NBA coverage on TNT for over four decades, and it seems Zaslav's stubborn and misguided actions have cost fans the chance to continue the coveted and admired Inside the NBA show featuring Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O'Neal.
