From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NBA Friday is a weekly presentation of National Basketball Association games on ESPN. Formerly known as NBA Friday Coast to Coast during doubleheader nights, the program starts the first Friday of the NBA season, and typically runs uninterrupted throughout the entire season. In 2006, NBA Friday was preempted from March 10 to March 31, due to ESPN deciding against counter programming the NCAA Tournament. Nearly all NBA Friday telecasts consist of a doubleheader, with one game typically from the East Coast at 8:00 p.m and the West Coast at 10:30 p.m.
The KIA NBA Shootaround pregame show and Toyota Halftime Show are both broadcast from ESPN's Bristol, CT studios, with host Mark Jones and analysis from Stephen A. Smith and Bill Walton. NBA Shootaround, starting in 2005, is now available in high definition on ESPNHD. Starting with the 2006-07 NBA season, all NBA games on ESPN were presented in high definition.
