NBA viewership stays up, with NBC and ESPN/ABC leading
Sports Media Watch

NBA viewership is up by a double-digit percentage entering the All-Star break. The growth is reportedly led by the league's linear television partners, NBC and ESPN/ABC.

Key Takeaways

  • NBA viewership is up by a double-digit percentage entering the All-Star break.
