Warner Bros. Discovery’s TNT Sports will cease producing content for NBA TV, ending a 17-year partnership, as announced in an internal memo from Chairman and CEO Luis Silberwasser on June 27, 2025.
Starting in early October, the NBA will take over programming and operations for NBA TV and NBA.com.
The decision, which may lead to job cuts at TNT’s Midtown Techwood campus in Atlanta, follows failed negotiations to align on the value of TNT’s expertise and content quality.
While TNT Sports will no longer produce NBA TV content, it retains licensing rights to create NBA content for TNT Sports, Bleacher Report, and House of Highlights, and will continue airing live games internationally.
The popular show “Inside the NBA,” featuring Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson, will still be produced in Atlanta. Starting in the 2025-2026 season, TNT’s NBA game package will shift to Amazon, NBCUniversal, and Disney’s ESPN and ABC.
