Barkley concerned about TNT losing TV rights to NBC

Charles Barkley acknowledges his apprehension regarding TNT potentially losing television broadcasting rights to NBC. He expresses his concern, citing a 50-50 chance of TNT losing out to NBC.

Despite their longstanding partnership with the NBA spanning approximately 40 years, Barkley notes that there’s anxiety among TNT personnel, suggesting they’re not receiving the benefit of the doubt in the bidding process.

“It’s 50-50 that we lose our part to NBC,” Barkley said. “Am I concerned? 100%, because as much as we have been partners with the NBA for I think 40 years, you would think if it was close in a bidding war, we would get the benefit of the doubt, but clearly that’s not happening … they’re scared to death over here right now.”
