Is it going to be on channel 51 aswell? The rockets.com schedule has them airing on TNT alone. I thought they said ALL first round games would have the option of being on both TNT/Espn AND KNWS channel 51? What's the deal?
It's on 51 also. For the first round, the local feed gets the option to televise the game if the game is picked up by either TNT or ESPN. If the Game is on ABC, 51 cannot show it. for the second round, if the Rockets get there, 51 only gets to show games if they are picked up by ESPN. TNT has exclusive broadcast rights for the semis and the conference finals.
I used to like TNT broadcasts, but now they annoy me. Charles Barkley has become a caricature of himself and Kevin Harlan with his Marv Albert imitation has just become unbearable. Thank God for ch 51. (can't believe I said that)
