Another team is moving to put its games on broadcast, with Tegna’s San Antonio station, KENS, getting an agreement to air 11 Spurs basketball games.

The Spurs are one of the National Basketball Association’s most interesting teams with 7-foot, 4-inch star rookie Victor Wembanyama starting his career.

Most of the Spurs games are expected to be televised over regional sports network Bally Sports Southwest, part of Sinclair’s bankrupt Diamond Sports Group. Some games will also be broadcast by KMYS in San Antonio, which is owned by Deerfield Media and operated by Sinclair.

Tegna said Spurs games appearing on KENS, a CBS affiliate, will be available to more than 1 million households in the San Antonio region via over the air, the KENS 5 streaming app, the official Spurs mobile app and through the station’s distribution deals with cable, satellite and streaming services that offer live TV programming.

“As fans gear up for an epic season, we’re pleased to partner with the Spurs and the NBA to bring these 11 heart-pounding games to every single household across San Antonio,” said Brad Ramsey, senior VP, media operations at Tegna. “As local broadcasters, our stations have always been the home for live, local sports and lifelong sports fans. We’re incredibly proud of this partnership with the world-class Spurs Sports & Entertainment organization.”  

The first game broadcast by KENS will come Nov. 20 when the Spurs play the Los Angeles Clippers.

Since last year, Nexstar Media Group’s KTLA has broadcast some Clippers games in California. This season, Utah Jazz games will be on Sinclair's KJZZ Salt Lake City, and the Phoenix Suns can be watched on Gray Television's KTVK and KPHE.

NHL teams are also moving to broadcast, with the Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights and Phoenix Coyotes airing on stations owned by E.W. Scripps.

NBA TV’s Sunday night telecast of the Golden State Warriors’ record-tying win over the San Antonio Spurs set an all-time ratings record for the network.

The Warriors win over the Spurs, which gave the Warriors a record-tying 72 NBA regular-season wins, averaged 2.6 million viewers, according to network officials. The game nearly doubled the previous mark of 1.4 million viewers set by the Jan. 25 Spurs/Warriors game.

On the social media front, content across NBA TV, NBA on TNT and NBA.com accounts on Sunday generated more than 35 million social impressions, 57% higher than the comparable day last year, according to network officials.

Despite San Antonio’s drubbing of Oklahoma City, TNT tallied almost 7 million viewers to its coverage of Game 5 of the NBA’s Western Conference Finals.

TNT netted a 4.3 U.S. household rating for its May 30 presentation of the Spurs’ 117-89 stomp of the Thunder, translating into 6.94 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. That made it the top show on cable last night.

Coupled with the 2.6 overnight mark for the Emmy Award-winning Inside the NBA, TNT delivered the two highest-rated and most-viewed shows on cable on Thursday night. Inside the NBA’s performance nearly doubled the show’s average through the first two rounds of the NBA postseason, according to network officials. 

TNT’s San Antonio-OKC telecast peaked with a 5.1 rating and 8.3 million total viewers.

The network’s exclusive coverage of the 2014 NBA Western Conference Finals -- even though there have been four lopsided contests – has averaged 6.43 viewers and a 4.0 rating through five games, up 31% and 29% when compared to ESPN’s 4.89 million viewers and 3.1 mark last year, when the Spurs swept the Memphis Grizzlies. Under the NBA current national TV contracts, TNT and ESPN/ABC alternate coverage of the conference finals on annual basis.

With two possible playoff games remaining – the home court team has prevailed in all five Spurs-Thunder contests so far – TNT has averaged 4.52 million viewers over 44 contests, up 1% from 4.46 million watchers at the comparable stage of the pro hoops league's 2013 postseason.

TNT’s playoffs' presentations have propelled the network to win the night 19 times among total viewers and 23 times among males 18 to 34 and 18 to 49.
