The NBA on ESPN Radio is a broadcast of National Basketball Association games on the ESPN Radio network. The program began on January 21, 1996 and the current contract runs through the extra season.[1]
The NBA on ESPN Radio broadcasts games on a weekly basis, many more than once. Game coverage includes:
Currently, the lead commentary team for the NBA on ESPN RadioisMarc Kestecher and Jon Barry, with occasional contributions provided by P. J. Carlesimo, Hubie Brown, Rosalyn Gold-Onwude, Corey Alexander and Kelenna Azubuike as analysts along with Sean Kelley or Mike Couzens for play-by-play.[2] Past contributors to the NBA on ESPN Radio have included Jim Durham, Kevin Calabro, Brent Musburger, Mike Tirico, Dave Pasch, Dave Flemming, Doug Brown, Tim Legler, Howard David, Dr. Jack Ramsay, Will Perdue, and Doris Burke.
As of 2022, the NBA on ESPN Radio is part of ESPN Radio’s main lineup, instead of in an opt-in/opt-out basis by ESPN Radio affiliates like in previous years (although affiliates retain the ability to opt out of broadcasts involving their in-market teams). It is also available in several regions outside the U.S.
Most NBA on ESPN Radio games can be heard on mobile devices and connected televisions via the ESPN app as well as many other radio apps, including TuneIn and iHeartRadio (mostly from ESPN Radio affiliates streaming on iHeartRadio).
