WARNER BROTHERS DISCOVERY MAKES A BIG MOVE THAT MAY AFFECT AEW

By Dave Scherer on 2024-07-22 18:09:00

Numerous outlets are reporting that Warner Brothers Discovery has notified the NBA that they will be exercising their rights within their current NBA deal and have matched the Amazon Prime Video deal.

The reported price of that deal is in the $1.8B range, which is significantly more than WBD is paying now for the NBA.  And for that extra expense, they will get less programming than they get under their current deal as NBC Universal is now also getting a slate of games as a new third partner in the NBA package.

What that means to AEW is to be determined.
