@paulsen_smw Great to see them on Finals! I feel like ABC should have stuck with them for at least 15 or 20 min after game before cutting to local news. Would think most casual fans aren’t switching over to espn.

@paulsen_smw Do you know what the actual tip times are? A fellow Knicks fan asking.

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@paulsen_smw Under the current arrangement in NBA will NBC always have a WCF when it’s their year? So next year ESPN gets West and Amazon gets East. Then in 2028 it rotates back to NBC getting West and ESPN East.

@paulsen_smw Was this the final year of Preakness on NBC?

@paulsen_smw @TVSportsUpdates Is this new deal of the 4 game package just for the 2026 season or for length of remaining rights deal?

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@paulsen_smw Did the YouTube deal last year for the Brazil/International opening week Friday game only last 1 season? Figured they would have set up rights to the Melbourne game.

@derekfutterman @paulsen_smw @netflix @wbd @paramountco Wow big news! What does this mean for TNT sports properties? Wonder if come next January we will have Nessler and the CBS sports crew getting to call some CFP playoff games now from TNT inventory.

@paulsen_smw Also going H2H with TBS’s Elite 8 that night too.

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@paulsen_smw Where will those 4 new windows go the NFL is selling? More Sunday morning games or late season Fridays/Saturdays?

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@paulsen_smw If WBD is purchased by Paramount, do you think CBS will take over full production for these games and use their Big10 crew with Brad Nessler? Would seem to me like would make much more sense than ESPN running it and gets CBS back in playoff fold.

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@paulsen_smw It’s NBC’s time for Josh Allen’s Super Bowl run. Go Bills!!!

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@paulsen_smw If Paramount buys the cable assets would they keep TNT Sports brand/station or migrate all of that inventory to CBS?

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@paulsen_smw I’m in the Philly market. Would the Netflix Field of Dreams game be made available over local broadcast as is the case with NFL Netflix Christmas games in local team markets?

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@paulsen_smw I had to do a double take. I was like when did TNT pick up Shams before I remembered I was watching ESPN😂

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@paulsen_smw When does this channel officially become available on YouTube TV? Will it include most all NBA Peacock games?

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@derekfutterman @paulsen_smw @NFL @espn @OmahaProd Might we possibly see a Friday night Brazil window in Mid/Late December next year? I thought they can technically play on Fridays after the 2nd week of December.

@paulsen_smw Horrible over the air coverage with only 16 games on ABC if NHL is trying to grow sport. NBA has over 60 between NBC and ABC. I would venture to say the Premier League have more free over air games compared to NHL slate too which is crazy.

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@Drewbydoobydoo @paulsen_smw Oh wow interesting. Thought they had to make the move after year 2 but guess there was some fine print.

[Robert Santarelli @Popcorntime]

@kendallbaker I don’t think MLB can get out of the Apple TV Friday deal yet. That’s locked in for 7 years after they signed it in 2022.
