The Impact Of The New National TV Deal On Local TV Coverage

Knicks owner James Dolan sent out a manifesto complaining about having to share too much with the poors in the new national TV deal. He also dropped this nugget:

The Knicks own their own RSN, so I can understand why he's worried about losing exclusive inventory. I'm curious what this means for the Pels though? I guess more OTA broadcasts, but they better find a streaming solution. OTA only isn't good enough.

"Yet the proposal threatens to completely eliminate (Regional Sports Networks) without a comparable replacement offered by the league and no articulated plans to address the production and distribution vacuum that the league will inevitably create in its quest to further disrupt the RSN industry...."
According to Dolan: "The increased number of exclusive and non-exclusive games means that national partners would have the ability to air nearly half of the regular season and all postseason games. This reduction in available games for RSNs risks rendering the entire RSN model unviable."
"The inclusion of streaming partners in the proposal (e.g., Amazon Prime Video, Peacock) allows fans in all NBA markets to bypass their RSN to watch certain games in their local market. The proposal offers no local protections for RSNs."

Dolan is just pissy that he has to share some of his 400+ million dollars in profits every year

Like Dolan said, the NBA is moving closer to the NFL model with more and more shared TV revenue. That brings more parity, and it's the ideal way to help small-market teams such as ours.

Yeah this is a pretty big paradigm shift, especially in combination with what appears to be a cultural shift in the players away from 4 markets (sure, some still want glory markets, but it doesn't seem to be the be-all, end-all for the majority of stars like in the past).

It's pretty funny that the guy who's teams have been complete failures and who turned one of the most respected franchises into a complete joke is complaining about shared revenue. Knicks should be far and away the most valuable franchise in the league but they're not and the main reason for that is the incompetence of James Dolan.

Are we really doing another year on Bally's?

The closer the NBA gets to the NFL parity model, the better. RSN is the reason the Bulls, Knicks and Lakers get to make terrible decision after terrible decision and still wind up with stars.

Dolan specifically called out the NBA's decision to keep 8% of the total NBA-related fees for itself in the new deal, which comes out to $6 billion. That's a massive jump compared to the upcoming 2024-2025 season, the last in the current media rights deal, in which the NBA is keeping just 0.5%, or $15 million.
What does the NBA itself do with all that extra money?

That's a good question, I hope the answer is something like invest in League Pass to make distribution of local games better, but probably not.
