Kent said, "That timing will be determined by the NBA. We have a relationship with the NBA that's over a quarter of a century now. We're partners with them not only in television, but we manage the digital business for them. We have a terrific relationship. I have every confidence we're going to continue that relationship. Will it cost more money? I could say fairly absolutely" (BROADCASTING & CABLE, 3/25 issue).
