Can't see any confirmation of this in the schedules or elsewhere so watch this space. I know Sky often put matches on YouTube so will be intersting to see if this is a one-off expansion of that or something more long term if it materialises.
I said when BBC Three relaunched that they should look into US sports and anime, as they are niches, but certainly more widespread now than they were during the original channel's run for the target audience. If this is more long term for the NBA, I could see the NFL wanting to get back in with the BBC. Maybe I'm watching the wrong ITV channels but I remember the press release saying something like "the move to ITV will promote the show and live games more"... well I certainly didn't see any London game promotions on main ITV, which is where they were broadcast, whereas BBC 1 did. I guess we'll have to see if the Super Bowl gets promoted during the Six Nations.
