Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav held his cards closely to his vest Monday while speaking at a Milken Institute conference in Beverly Hills, largely sidestepping questions about the ongoing Paramount M&A process, not to mention Warner's existentially vital TV rights renewal talks with the NBA.
While assuring attendees that WBD is still in “"constructive negotiations” with the National Basketball Association on a new TV deal following an aggressive challenge for pro-hoops TV rights from Comcast last week, Zaslav declared: “It’s a great league. The TNT team does a terrific job. And we love the NBA.”
