Part 4/8:
In a recent conference organized by Morgan Stanley, David Zaslav shared insights into TNT’s renewed outlook after parting ways with the NBA. He expressed confidence in the network’s decision, stating unequivocally that TNT is better off financially without the burdensome costs associated with NBA broadcasts. His claims suggest that TNT is already witnessing a financial upswing, thanks to more strategic investments in other sports franchises—such as the college football playoff and NASCAR. This recalibration indicates a broader recognition that different sports can offer better returns on investment compared to basketball’s declining viewership.
