NBA on NBC (2016 revival)

The NBA on NBC is an American sports program produced by NBC Sports in association with the National Basketball Association. It is the third reprisal of the program since signing off in 2002 following its second reprisal in 1989. Its first run was between October 30, 1954 to April 7, 1962. A $750 million dollar television package was then signed in 1989 and the program signed on in 1990 under its second iteration that most modern fans will remember with the Roundball Rock music theme composed by John Tesh and Mitch Fagan presiding as voiceover of the NBA on NBC promos. The program ran between November 3, 1990 to June 12, 2002. Now in its third iteration, a couple of returning NBA on NBC alumni return to present the pregame and postgame and the NBA Showtime program which airs before the pregame. Returning to this role are Bob Costas hosting pre and post-game shows, and Hannah Storm for the NBA Showtime program replacing its original host, Ahmad Rashad who returns to sideline duties as field reporter. Fresh new talent also comes in for pre and post game analysis. Neil Hartman and Kendall Gill from NBC owned Comcast SportsNet  provide the color analysis. Steven Albert, more known for Showtime boxing broadcasts, makes his debut to this program as a fill in when Costas is off to other NBC Sports assignments. This latest television package at face value of $832 million dollars would put this third iteration through 2025 with a renewal option. Unlike its original 1990-2002 package, NBA on NBC will only be airing on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights (starting the day after Thanksgiving) on NBC and NBCSN with some Sunday games.
