Barkley Commits to TNT Despite NBA Broadcast Loss

Charles Barkley announced he will remain with TNT Sports through the end of his 10-year contract, reversing his previous retirement plans. Despite TNT losing NBA broadcasting rights to ESPN, NBC, and Amazon, Barkley emphasized his commitment to his colleagues and the network. Warner Bros. Discovery, TNT's parent company, has filed a lawsuit against the NBA over the rejected bid. Barkley's decision ensures he will continue to be a part of the Emmy-winning 'Inside the NBA' show alongside Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kenny Smith. While the future of the show without NBA games on TNT is uncertain, Barkley praised the network's leadership and their aggressive expansion of new sports properties.
