So what are the percentage rights between all these networks?

It's hard to follow considering how spread out this deal is turning out to be? Does TNT still have the NBA for next season?

TNT Sports filling in the gaps, NHL on the way to being their marquee winter property.

Is that true? I thought TNT had a "strict number" of games they can show? I do think the NHL will increase their coverage with TNT in their next deal though. I think they have to be satisfied with how TNT has treated the NHL so far.

There is a chance that all those NBA fans will just follow where all the games are as NHL fans did post-2004 lockout.

Is what true? I didn't say they'd add more NHL games.

NHL doesn't care how someone "treats" them, it's all about $$.

Another part of this NBA deal is the WNBA media deal:

The reported agreements with ESPN, Amazon, and NBC more than triples the league’s existing media-rights money, with the potential for more to come. Currently, the league pulls down $60 million from its rights partners annually. The new deals total $200 million per year, and give the league significant room to earn more than that. The NBA, which also led the WNBA’s negotiations, recently struck deals worth $76 billion with the same three conglomerates, though those deals are still pending some legal wrangling. The Athletic reported the new deals “could have as much as six times multiple” the existing ones for several reasons. First, they leave room for the league to negotiate separate deals worth more than $60 million annually. Second, the main partners agreed to revisit the value of the deals just three years in.

Yep, every other year with 1 year NBC/Amazon will both have it.

Good lord, in hind sight I guess it was silly of me to complain about ESPN+ exclusive NHL regular season games.

What does this mean? Are they only going to stream it on MAX and not put it on TNT?

No, article says TNT will simulcast.

I wonder what's going to happen with the supposed Max sports add-on. Feels like they need to continue to open games up to everyone to boost the potential reach.

The executive director of the WNBA players' union is concerned the league is being undervalued with the $2.2 billion over 11 years it will receive as part of the NBA's recently approved media rights deals. “We have wondered for months how the NBA would value the WNBA in its media rights deal,”...

WNBA getting $200m/year from deal. Not a huge amount. That's $14.28m per team (assuming league gets nothing).

MLS got $250mm for 29 teams, WNBA just blew by them on a per team basis.
