“We recognize that, in some ways, the decline of cable has disproportionately impacted the NBA,” Silver told Kendall Baker of Yahoo Sports AM. “Our young audience isn’t subscribing to cable, and those fans aren’t finding our games.

But there are still roughly 65 million homes in America that are consuming sports in a very traditional way, and even more people on network TV. Is that declining? Yes. Is that going away anytime soon? I don’t believe so. So we want to be on all of those platforms.”

I pay you YT TV, still can't watch my local team without an additional $20 month to Bally.

It's not that all people have cut cable entirely, but not having your exclusive provider on streaming TV services is insane

That's terrible, I thought the whole point of YTTV was to get your local teams' games. I get pretty much every wizards and commanders game with a good amount of ravens games on it, sucks that your market doesn't work like that.
