The last Inside the NBA episode until the regular season finale just ran for a *grand total* of 23 minutes (with commercials). Because the game went long into overtime, I am going to assume the ABC affiliates wanted their network back for local news at the top of the hour. There was that huge gap between shows at the beginning of the regular season, it's happening again at the end of it, and anytime they're on ABC: they have only a couple segments before having to sign off. ESPN broadcasts are a bit longer, which is fine, but it will just never be the same as it was on TNT. I am a disgruntled loyal customer who gave new ownership a chance, and would like to turn in my membership card.


Some added clarity: NFL RedZone is seven hours — 420 minutes. Over that time, viewers will be served 1-2 total minutes of ads in :15 increments. This comes out to anywhere between 0.25% - 0.5% of the total time, considerably less than other sports/entertainment programs.


Scott Hanson confirms NFL RedZone will have commercials in some capacity this season — which is something he has no control over. The intro will be: “7 hours of RedZone Football start now.” (via @PatMcAfeeShow)
