The NBA, which has experienced lockout this season, has shrunk to only 66 games, and CCTV's broadcast plan has also been slimmed down. According to the broadcast plan of NBA in the next two weeks, CCTV will only broadcast five games live, CCTV Sports Channel will only broadcast four games live in two weekends, and 1 game will be broadcast live on CNTV. In the past few seasons, NBA games will not be seen on TV on Tuesday and Wednesday, two traditional live broadcast days.

Earlier, it was reported that the NBA schedule in the new season was shortened, the NBA was unwilling to cut prices, and the broadcast price could not be negotiated with CCTV, which led to a sharp drop in NBA games on CCTV sports channel. Yesterday, Su Qun, a basketball expert who participated in the CCTV broadcast of the NBA Christmas War, confirmed the news. He revealed through Weibo: "Because the NBA has stopped, it still refuses to reduce its price. The CCTV live broadcast in the new season is only on Saturday and Sunday, and the traditional Tuesday and Wednesday broadcast days are temporarily not broadcast. " Regarding the decrease in the number of CCTV NBA broadcasts, Jiang Heping does not admit but does not deny the rumors on the Internet. He just said, "The reason why the broadcast has shrunk is because the cooperation mode between us and the NBA has changed. This is an unexplained trade secret, and our original plan was to increase the broadcast of domestic games. Also consider the broadcast effect. The ratings of NBA are not as good as CBA. So far, the average ratings of CBA are above 0.5. Of course, it is necessary to consider that CBA is night and prime time.

In short, there are fewer nba games and the broadcasting fee is not reduced, do you understand? I hope I can help you, thank you!
