Will Roundball Rock Hit the Court Again?

For over two decades, John Tesh's "Roundball Rock" has been the familiar tune that pumped up NBA viewers on NBC. But with the network set to rebroadcast games, fans are eagerly awaiting the song's return. The catch? NBC and Tesh haven't agreed on a deal yet, even though NBC has pledged to bring back the iconic theme. Tesh has shown his commitment by rerecording the song with a symphony orchestra. Other networks like Disney and Amazon also have their own theme song needs, making it a delicate situation for licensing "Roundball Rock. " It's a tricky balance – satisfying fans while managing costs.

NBC's massive $2. 45 billion contract with the NBA includes many things, but the theme song is still under negotiation. Tesh knows fans are behind him, but NBC isn't willing to pay any price. These talks could take some time, but for fans, the theme song is a significant part of the NBA experience.
