NBA TV has announced: (1) Telemundo? I wonder whether those will be unique broadcasts, or Spanish-audio over video from one of the other nets. Either way, this is good for the Rockets (given their large Spanish-speaking following) (2) Hopefully both the local and national broadcasts will air when the Rockets are on NBATV. (3) One HD game a week! Now is the time for those of us with High-Def TVs to start lobbying
Unfortunately not many Rockets games will be on HD. It'll probably be the Lakers and Suckramento every freakin week.
A few years ago they had some games on telemundo and Calvin Murphy and Bill Worrell were the broadcasters. But that was in south texas, so it may be different in other areas.
Not necessarily. This is pure speculation, but it seems likely that Mark Cuban is a significant part of this deal. Given the restraints of his HD production facilities, he is probably trying and do more games closer to home (Houston, San Antonio, New Orleans, as well as Dallas), or from sites already ready (New York, Philadelphia) than from California arenas without HD broadcast facilities in place.
