The NBA has agreed to a broadcast deal with BT Sport allowing fans to "be able to access selected games" on TV and streamed online, according to EXPRESS. The new agreement "will see up to 200 games throughout the season, appearing across BT Sport 1, BT Sport 2 and ESPN." There "will be up to seven live games per week throughout the regular season" and the playoffs, as well as the NBA Finals (EXPRESS, 11/28). The AP reported NBA games "were broadcast last season in Britain by Sky Sports and ESPN" (AP, 11/28). In L.A., Stuart Kemp wrote no financial details "were disclosed." BT Sport CEO Simon Green described the NBA as "simply the best basketball in the world; it is fast moving, high scoring and includes some the world’s most recognizable global sporting icons." Also included in the partnership "will be several magazine shows, including NBA Action, which combines weekly highlights and news, NBA Inside Stuff, which will provide fans with insight into the lives of NBA stars both on and off the court, and NBA Tonight, an overview of the NBA through interviews and analysis" (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 11/28).
