Inside the NBA to Air on ESPN and ABC

The popular NBA show 'Inside the NBA' will transition to ESPN and ABC starting in the 2025-26 season after Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) reached a licensing agreement with Disney. This deal comes after a breach of contract lawsuit between WBD and the NBA was settled, allowing WBD to maintain a significant amount of NBA content rights for the next decade. The show's beloved hosts, including Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson, are expected to remain with the program, continuing their iconic presence in basketball broadcasting. This transition marks a significant change for 'Inside the NBA,' which has been a staple on TNT since its inception in 1989. The agreement highlights the ongoing value of live sports content in media, ensuring the show's future despite the loss of traditional NBA broadcasting rights for WBD. Fans can anticipate the same engaging commentary and analysis from the show's established team in their new broadcasting home.
