“We recognize that, in some ways, the decline of cable has disproportionately impacted the NBA,” Silver told Kendall Baker of Yahoo Sports AM. “Our young audience isn’t subscribing to cable, and those fans aren’t finding our games.
But there are still roughly 65 million homes in America that are consuming sports in a very traditional way, and even more people on network TV. Is that declining? Yes. Is that going away anytime soon? I don’t believe so. So we want to be on all of those platforms.”
Yeah the answer is staring him in the face. No local blackouts.
If they could figure out a middle ground, that’d be great. I live in northwest Ohio. With league pass I can’t watch Cavs games because Ohio, but I also can’t watch pistons games because I live so close to Michigan. Shits the main reason I’ve held back from getting it.
I’m from eastern Kentucky and I can’t get Pacers, Cavs or Grizzlies games. Idk why I can’t get the Grizzlies but I can the Hornets who are closer to me geographically.
Don’t think you understand how much money they’d lose if they did this
