Levy joined the Nets last month, after spending more than 30 years with Turnernets
Nets Owner Joe Tsai said that new CEO David Levy will meet with YES Network President Jon Litner to "discuss maximizing" the team's digital rights, according to Brian Lewis of the N.Y. POST. After the Nets added Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in free agency this offseason, they are now "delivering a different caliber of team than the one YES Network negotiated to broadcast." Tsai said, "We have a long-term contract with YES. It's a fixed amount, but there's definitely room to look into new ways of delivering the content locally. YES is a linear TV presentation; they really haven't leveraged the digital rights yet." He added, "This is a perfect example of David Levy -- who knows Jon Litner really well -- and they're going to hit it off and have a conversation because what we want is a win-win situation. It makes a lot of sense for YES Network. It also makes a lot of sense for us to figure out a way to better leverage our digital rights on a local TV basis" (N.Y. POST, 10/15).
