Warner Bros Discovery's TNT Sports to match competing bid for NBA broadcast rights

Jul 22, 2024 2:16 PM

July 22 (Reuters) - Warner Bros Discovery's ( WBD )

sports network TNT Sports said on Monday it would exercise its

rights to match one of three bids to carry National Basketball

Association games, in an effort to preserve its four-decade long

partnership with the league.

TNT Sports did not say which of the NBA programming packages

it was seeking to match, however one source familiar with the

offer said the company is seeking to challenge Amazon Prime

Video's offer of $1.9 billion per season, on average

over the life of the 11-year deal.

Amazon ( AMZN ) declined to comment, referring inquiries to the NBA,

which could not be immediately reached.

ESPN and NBCUniversal also are bidding to carry games.
