Introduction
The National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals is the championship series of the NBA, played between the Western and Eastern Conference champions. The Western Conference team has home-court advantage in the series.
The NBA Finals was first broadcast on television in 1953, on NBC. CBS took over in 1955 and aired the Finals until 1973 when ABC won the rights to televise the game. NBC regained broadcast rights in 1975 and aired the Finals until 1982. ABC did not televise the Finals from 1983 until 1985 due to a contract dispute; during that time, NBC aired the games instead. ABC regained broadcast rights in 1986 and has aired the Finals ever since.
The NBA Finals is currently televised on ABC; ESPN has exclusive radio rights.
