Per Yoder:

On Tuesday, NBC revealed that they are going to attempt a brand new way of covering NBA action with what the network is calling “on the bench.”

When the Cleveland Cavaliers face the Detroit Pistons on October 27, it will be the debut of the concept that Peacock will use for its 23 Peacock NBA Monday game broadcasts. And in that first telecast, the streamer will position its broadcasters in a totally unique way for an NBA game.

Play-by-play announcer Noah Eagle will take the mic at a traditional center-court location in the broadcast booth. However, he will have one analyst located near each bench of the Cavaliers and Pistons respectively by their assistant coaches. Austin Rivers will be located with the Cavs bench and Robbie Hummel will be on the Pistons sidelines.

Each analyst will then present analysis, insights, and reports geared towards their respective teams including relaying what they learn from huddles and timeouts.

“Never before has a game featured an analyst dedicated exclusively to each team with such unparalleled access,” said Executive Producer Sam Flood. “Each analyst will be dedicated to telling the story of the game through the lens of their team. At the same time, we will respect the sanctity of the inside information our analysts are able to hear but will always strive to give the audience unique insights that only this type of access can provide. We’re grateful to the NBA and its teams for their vision and faith in our ability to provide this first-of-its-kind coverage.”


Howl Wolves!!
