According to WSJ’s Joe Flint, starting next season ESPN will sublicense Big 12 conference football and basketball games to Warner Bros. Discovery that it can broadcast on TNT and stream on Max.
This news came out on report that WBD settled its suit against the NBA. Other news is Warner Bros. Discovery will license Inside The NBA with its current team to be seen on ESPN and ABC. If I read that correctly, the show maintains what it is now, using TNT crew and operations, and won’t be run by, as Barkley puts it regularly on the show, “them idiots at ESPN”.
