The following is a list of American television and radio networks and announcers that have nationally broadcast the NBA All-Star Games throughout the years.
Television
[edit]2020s
[edit]Notes
[edit]- The 2022 NBA All-Star Game was the first All-Star Game since 2000 (then aired on NBC) to not be called by Marv Albert, as he retired at the end of the 2020–21 NBA season.[13] The game was televised nationally in the United States by TNT.[14] Sister network TBS carried an alternate feed, Inside the All-Star Game, which featured a conversational presentation of the game featuring the Inside the NBA panel of Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kenny Smith, with guests such as Draymond Green. Coaches, referees, and selected players also wore microphones.[15] In Canada, the game was televised nationally by Sportsnet.[16]
- The 2021 NBA All-Star Game was broadcast by TNT for the 19th consecutive year. The game was seen by 5.94 million viewers, an 18% decrease over 2020 and the least-watched All-Star Game overall, but it beat CBS's Oprah with Meghan and Harry special in key demographic audience share.[17][18] Additionally, this was the final NBA All-Star Game to ever be called by Marv Albert, as he announced his retirement from broadcasting following the 2021 Playoffs.
- During the course of the 2021–22 NBA season, TNT anointed Kevin Harlan as its new lead play-by-play voice, assigning him to call the 2022 NBA All-Star Game and the Western Conference finals.[19][20] Starting with the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, however, Brian Anderson took over play-by-play duties, but Harlan remains the play-by-play voice for TNT's conference finals coverage.[21][22]
- The 2020 game was televised nationally by TNT for the 18th consecutive year,[23] and simulcast by TBS for the 6th consecutive year. After airing a “Players Only” broadcast a year ago, TBS returned to simulcasting TNT's coverage, after the “Players Only” brand was canceled by the NBA and Turner Sports.
- Beginning with the 2026 game, NBC took over rights to the NBA All-Star Game. The 2026 game will mark the first time since 2002 (also previously aired on NBC) that the All-Star Game was broadcast on network television.[24]
2010s
[edit]Notes
[edit]- The 2021 game was originally scheduled to be played at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, home of the Charlotte Hornets. However, because of a new anti-LGBT bill being passed in North Carolina, the NBA relocated the game, and all other All-Star festivities to New Orleans.[50][51]
2000s
[edit]Notes
[edit]- The 2003 NBA All-Star Game on TNT[79] marked the first time that the game was broadcast by a cable television network.[80]
- For the 2001–2002, NBC's studio team consisted of Ahmad Rashad and Hannah Storm with former Philadelphia 76ers owner Pat Croce, the returning Mike Fratello, and former player Jayson Williams. The tandem stayed together through the 2002 NBA All-Star Game.[81] During the week between the All-Star Game and NBC's next scheduled telecast, Williams was arrested after shooting and killing his limousine driver. He was promptly fired by NBC, which also did not return Croce or Fratello to studio coverage. Instead, the network brought in Tom Tolbert, who had only recently been added to NBC Sports as a third-string analyst paired with Mike Breen. Tolbert stayed on as the lone studio analyst through the end of the season, and won acclaim by several in the media, including USA Today sports columnist Rudy Martzke. Hannah Storm was not able to anchor the 2002 NBA All-Star Game as she was on assignment at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City serving as daytime studio host; Rashad solo anchored from the studio.
1990s
[edit]Notes
[edit]- In 1991, Bob Costas replaced for Marv Albert on play-by-play for NBC's coverage, as Marv Albert was away grieving the death of his mother.[103]
