Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 5302337, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1937933352201556185[/MEDIA] ->[B] JohnCanzano.com’s [/B]eponymous publisher is being told by sources to “keep an eye on[B] Warner Bros. Discovery [/B]as a possible player as the new-look [B]Pac-12 Conference’s [/B]media rights packages,” adding: “[B]TNT Sports (TNT, TBS, truTV, and Max) [/B]will air more than 65 regular-season [B]Big East [/B]basketball games starting next season. I asked a long-time media-world executive what he thought of marrying some Pac-12 basketball to that deal. He said, ‘Big East/Pac-12 doubleheaders would be a good combo.’” Canzano also points out that WBD “recently lost the [B]NBA [/B]rights. It hasn’t traditionally played in the college space, other than the [B]NCAA Tournament[/B]. It now has some college football games, [B]NASCAR[/B], professional wrestling, and some regular-season [B]MLB [/B]games. I’m told that WBD and the Pac-12’s media consultant, [B]Octagon[/B], have been in discussions.” Canzano also reports that [B]St. Mary’s[/B] officials “have been told by the Pac-12 that possible basketball additions will be considered after it finalizes the addition of at least one more full-time member and inks the media rights deal.” Meanwhile, Canzano is “cooling my jets on the [B]ESPN[/B] front. The network grabbed two [B]Oregon State[/B] football games as part of the 2025 TV deal. I’ve wondered for a while if ESPN might come in with some regular ‘Pac-12 After Dark’ games in 2026 and beyond, but that late-night inventory is likely to land with another partner, per a source.” ([URL='https://drvco.omeclk.com/portal/public/ViewCommInBrowser.jsp?Sv4%2BeOSSucxNc6dTgGcTYjwg8TD9kdTrmGZH6IuhajqtIstT%2FjAt%2BQ31W2AjRDzSgAHck5ztBx7u%2B5GYlZlZwg%3D%3DA'][B]link[/B][/URL]) <- [/QUOTE]
