"Inside the NBA" to Appear on ESPN, ABC Next Season

TNT's popular NBA analysis show "Inside the NBA" is moving to ESPN and ABC in 2023, according to a report from Andrew Marchand of the New York Post.

The show, which features Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O'Neal, has been a staple of TNT's NBA coverage since 1989. However, the show's contract with TNT is up after the 2022-23 season, and ESPN has reportedly made a significant offer to acquire the rights to the show.

ESPN is reportedly paying over $100 million per year for the rights to "Inside the NBA," which is more than double what TNT is currently paying. The move would be a major coup for ESPN, as "Inside the NBA" is one of the most popular sports shows in the United States.

The show's move to ESPN would also be a significant blow to TNT, which has relied on "Inside the NBA" as its flagship NBA show for over three decades. However, TNT is reportedly planning to launch a new NBA analysis show featuring some of the same talent that is currently on "Inside the NBA."

The move of "Inside the NBA" to ESPN is expected to be announced officially in the coming weeks.
