Why is Fox using the NBA on NBC theme?

It’s really a lyric first song.

It’s actually been a few years
They also have quasi old school big Monday showdowns with old school big east schools.

They were granted the rights to it. And it may not go back to NBC when they start coverage next year. John Tesh, who composed the theme, said he and NBC haven’t reached a financial agreement yet.
I’ve always thought that music was overrated. The NBA on CBS theme from the mid-to-late ‘80s was much better.

Are they going to lose it when NBC gets the NBA back?

Urinating Tree uses it for Tank Bowls.

Roundball Rock is returning—it’s literally in the NBC press release announcing the new deal.
Would be weird if Fox continues playing it. You’d think there’s something in the song’s licensing agreement that would prohibit Fox from using it if NBC televises the NBA again.

Not so fast…

“I said, ‘You know you don’t have the rights to the song?’ He said, ‘Yeah. But we want to put in the press release that we’re negotiating with you and your publishing company.’ I said ‘Ah, I don’t think that’s a great idea.’ And then he said, ‘Well. We would just hope that you would negotiate in good faith.’ I said, ‘I guess you’re gonna do what you want to do.’ And he said ‘That’s what the folks here want to do.'”
quote:
“The press release actually said, basically, ‘We have the rights to “Roundball Rock,”‘ Tesh said. “And I’m reading this thing, I’m going, ‘What?’ So I called him back up and said, ‘Hey, you said you were gonna say you were negotiating with us in good faith.’ He said, ‘Yeah, we got out a little ahead of our skis?’ I said, ‘Ahead of your skis?’ He said, ‘We hope that you’ll negotiate in good faith and I hope that you won’t talk to the press about this’ because what I said was, ‘I’m gonna get a whole bunch of phone calls now, from all these podcasters.’…He said, ‘Can you just wait until everybody gets back from the Olympics, and then we’ll start negotiations.'”

Oh, wow. Dumb move by NBC. But I’m sure they’ll pay Tesh.

Used it during Olympics too...
But I was curious how Fox had it too, guess both can?
