The future of NBA TV is unclear as the league unwinds its partnership with WBD.
WBD has been operating it since 2008 by handling ad sales and all aspects of its
production and talent hires out of their Atlanta studios. The NBA is not sure i
f or how it will continue beyond the current season.
在NBA与华纳探索集团(WBD)的转播合约即将到期之际,NBATV的未来也变得
不明确。WBD从2008年起,就在亚特兰大摄影棚(注:与CNN同一间)负责处理这个频道在广
告销售、节目制作与人才聘用的事宜。然而,就连联盟本身也无法确定频道
在这个赛季之后会不会继续运作。
NBA TV was in 60 millions homes just 10 years ago, but that number has dropped t
o 35 million (42 percent decline) and continues to be on the declines as more pe
ople cut the cord.
NBATV在10年前曾经有6千万户的订阅量,但这个数字如今已经下跌到剩下3千5百
万(高达42%的衰退)。而且随着越来越多人跟随剪线潮,使用量可想而知只会持续下
探。
NBA TV currently can pick up any local feed on a night when there isn't a nation
ally televised game on ABC, ESPN or TNT. They also air studio shows and old game
s. Much of that surplus inventory will move to Amazon and NBC next season.
NBATV目前可以选择没有被3家全国性电视台(ABC,ESPN与华纳旗下的TNT)转播的
夜间比赛,此外也播映在摄影棚录影的自制节目以及经典比赛回顾。然而,这些剩余
的资产,都将在明年转移到获得新合约的两家平台—Amazon与NBC。

心得:这么说来,从探索频道出身的WBD现任老板,这一年并没有积极去与联盟谈转播
权的续约,也不是没有道理的
当然,Amazon跟NBC敢花重金买转播权,这个行为也还蛮很勇敢就是XD
