Charles Barkley Slams TNT Bosses Over Broadcasting Rights Debacle, Loss of 'Inside The NBA'
What’s the Current Deal?
Under the terms of the current media agreement, WBD pays $1.2 billion for the "B" package of the league, which includes primetime games, the conference finals, and the NBA Finals, while Disney pays $1.4 billion annually for the "A" package.
According to reports, Disney insisted on keeping the "A" package off the open market and offered $2.8 billion a year in exchange for it in the subsequent agreement. WBD CEO David Zaslav was not interested in paying $2.4 billion, which is double what WBD currently pays, despite rumors that he was expecting to pay about $2 billion for the "B" package.
