NBA local access is still too fragmented
WTF editorial proposal—not a member submission. In the United States, NBA League Pass does not show local-team or nationally broadcast games live. The NBA directs viewers to the relevant local provider or national broadcaster and already offers a ZIP-code tool for checking local League Pass blackouts. Our view: fans deserve a clearer, game-by-game picture of where to watch and what access will cost before buying subscriptions. This is an editorial proposal, not evidence of a measured fan consensus.
