TNT’s ‘Inside the NBA’ will move to ESPN next year
TNT’s iconic studio show “Inside the NBA” will live on after the channel loses its rights to carry live games next season. The Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN is expected to announce this week it will license “Inside the NBA” and run it alongside its NBA coverage when its new deal with the league goes into effect next year, according to two people familiar with the plans who were not authorized to discuss it publicly. “Inside the NBA” with Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal, looked like it would disappear after TNT’s parent company Warner Bros. Starting with the 2025-26 season, “Inside the NBA” will have pregame, postgame and halftime editions during ESPN’s coverage of the NBA Finals, Conference Finals and playoff games.
