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與華納探索集團(WBD)的轉播合約即將到期之際,NBATV的未來也變得
不明確。WBD從2008年起,就在亞特蘭大攝影棚(註:與CNN同一間)負責處理這個頻道在廣
告銷售、節目製作與人才聘用的事宜。然而,就連聯盟本身也無法確定頻道
在這個賽季之後會不會繼續運作。
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年前曾經有6千萬戶的訂閱量,但這個數字如今已經下跌到剩下3千5百
萬(高達42%的衰退)。而且隨著越來越多人跟隨剪線潮,使用量可想而知只會持續下
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目前可以選擇沒有被3家全國性電視台(ABC,ESPN與華納旗下的TNT)轉播的
夜間比賽,此外也播映在攝影棚錄影的自製節目以及經典比賽回顧。然而,這些剩餘
的資產,都將在明年轉移到獲得新合約的兩家平台—Amazon與NBC。

心得:這麼說來,從探索頻道出身的WBD現任老闆,這一年並沒有積極去與聯盟談轉播
權的續約,也不是沒有道理的
當然,Amazon跟NBC敢花重金買轉播權,這個行為也還蠻很勇敢就是XD
順帶一提:Puck最近的運動媒體線記者,也陸續寫文分析了ESPN與Amazon經營的
策略,有興趣的球迷可以參考(只是這兩篇都需要註冊網站會員就是)
