Turner Sports New Media group also handles PGA and Nascar’s digital properties. If the NBA deal mirrors the ones with the PGA and Nascar, Turner would earn a fee for managing the both online and TV properties and split ad revenues with the NBA.

MLS’s digital presence is currently managed by Major League Baseball’s digital media division (MLBAM). MLS says no decision has been made yet, but it is under consideration. This would be a blow to MLBAM’s otherwise successful digital operations…its media outsourcing services deals haven’t panned out as expected, according to our sources in the industry.
