you’re confusing league pass with the regular amazon streaming games on Thursday night or whatever, they are two separate things. Part of the Amazon package is amazon-exclusive NBA games on Prime Video with no league pass subscription required. It’s no different than current TNT viewers, they don’t get league pass included with TNT either.
And the NBA has to pay TNT for league pass content because TNT produces those shows for the NBA.
unless you’re talking about some non-US arrangement I’m not aware of, TNT has nothing to do with league pass. League pass is a collection of local RSN streams. In fact all nationally broadcast games, including TNT, are blacked out on league pass in the US. Even if true outside the US I’m not sure why it matters, they will just have a different production team going forward.
I understand that the games Amazon just bought are separate than NBA LEAGUE PASS. You can watch LEAGUE PASS on Amazon and those League Pass games will cost extra.
And I’m not talking about the games that are broadcast on TNT with Ernie and Chuck. I’m talking about the games on League Pass, someone needs to build a studio, film the games, make the halftime show etc. that someone is TNT. The NBA doesn’t make all that themselves because they didn’t have studio space, cameras or the know-how to do it themselves so they contacted TNT to make that for them.
Just like all the shows on Amazon aren’t actually made by Amazon.

okay. what does that have to do with comparing Amazon to TNT?

Maybe you are confusing League Pass with NBA TV which is operated through TNT. Again these are two separate things. League pass has NOTHING to do with TNT. League Pass is a collection of LOCAL media streams (RSNs). League Pass does not even show halftime, pregame or anything like that, it is just the in-game feed from local markets.

IDK, you brought up NBA LEAGUE PASS.
I thought they came together. Does the NBA have two separate streaming services? Is NBA TV like an actual cable channel?
