Talk:NBA on ABC

Untitled
The markup of the first paragraph is obviously messed up, but I'm not sure how to correct it since it's not clear what the author intended.

Anyone know of any petitions to have NBC save the NBA. I can't believe how ABC and ESPN have butchered such a great product.

Fair use rationale for Image:Abc 150px.gif
Image:Abc 150px.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Espnba.gif
The image Image:Espnba.gif is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

The following images also have this problem:


 * File:Espnba.png

Requested move
NBA on ABC → NBA Sunday — Since this in no longer an ABC program, but rather an ESPN program on ABC, should it be moved to a page like ESPN's other NBA presentations? Khan_singh (talk) 02:48, 23 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Split the ESPN program should have a separate article. 76.66.194.32 (talk) 03:47, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose This article is about a particular series of broadcasts. The ESPN program should just have its own article or be merged to existing ESPN/NBA articles as appropriate. Ham Pastrami (talk) 06:26, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose NBA Sunday is too generic. The current name differentiates the ABC broadcast from the ESPN broadcast and also from past Sunday NBA programming that aired on other networks. --Jtalledo (talk) 01:10, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough, I'm going to remove the tag. I was thinking that the article could be retitled "NBA Sunday" and the "NBA on ABC" could be discussed in the history. What if this article were edited to be in the past tense?Khan_singh (talk) 03:35, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean by "past tense." But "NBA Sunday" is a broad umbrella term that doesn't reflect the focus of the article - which is ABC's coverage of the NBA on Sundays. --Jtalledo (talk) 12:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * What I mean is that the NBA on ABC doesn't exist anymore. Yes, it is NBA basketball, and it happens to be on ABC, but it's an ESPN program. This article should refer to the ABC Sports program, circa 1965-73, & 2002-2006; and NBA Sunday would refer to ABC's coverage of the NBA since then. At least that's what I think.Khan_singh (talk) 23:49, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
