NBA Wednesday

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NBA Wednesday is a weekly presentation of the National Basketball Association on ESPN. Debuting in 2002, NBA Wednesday starts the first Wednesday of the NBA season and runs throughout the entire season. Games typically air at 9:00 p.m EST, following an ESPN's presentation of ACC Wednesday college basketball. NBA Wednesday is often preempted by college basketball doubleheaders. Originally, NBA Wednesday was broadcast by Brad Nessler and Bill Walton each week. After the 2002-2003 NBA season, ESPN ceased having a consistent broadcast team for NBA Wednesday, instead using various teams.

Like NBA Friday, the NBA Wednesday halftime features are conducted in ESPN's Bristol studios. Fred Hickman hosts, with various analysts. Previously, John Saunders hosted NBA Wednesday studio segments, with analysts Greg Anthony and Tim Legler. In the first season of ESPN NBA coverage, the studio segments were hosted by Stuart Scott, with analyst Tim Hardaway.
