After news broke on Tuesday that Charles Barkley will remain at Turner Sports after its NBA deal expires next year, the company is evaluating its post-NBA TV rights options that include a potential rebrand of the hit show Inside the NBA to Inside Sports, according to a report from Joe Flint and Amol Sharma of The Wall Street Journal.
Litigation is ongoing between Warner Brothers Discovery (the parent company of TNT) and the NBA following the league's decision to award its broadcast rights to ESPN, Amazon Prime and NBC. However, it appears unlikely that WBD (and TNT) will retain broadcast rights for the NBA beyond next season.
