NBL 3rd quarter coming up next around 3.50pm AEDT.
Today 
has Minnesota at Brooklyn and that game is on ESPN AU but they are showing the local FDSN North (Minnesota feed) instead of . I wonder why
It’s happened again. Instead of the NBC feed for the 2nd game, ESPN AU is showing the local FDSN OKC feed. Maybe it’s because they are doing their own show between the 2 games instead of the NBC show and hence they switch to the wrong feed.
Last week they corrected after the first time out.
Some contractual stuff ATP if it’s happened thrice.
Unlike last week, they have not swapped over after the first timeout
The only explanation I can think is because both games are not on NBC. So maybe they just use the east coast feed for game 1 & then instead of using the west coast feed for game 2, they are using the local team broadcast which could be easier to access?

US affiliates are given an option to go for two if they want.
ESPN was probably the same.

ESPN AU also showing the local FDSN home feed and not broadcast. It seems that ESPN is choosing the local team feeds when they are available instead of the feed.
That could be why they take NBC for Tuesday (our Wednesday) game 1 but take the available local feed for 2nd game since it’s only on NBC for PST time zones
Or because NBC doesn’t allow retransmission of Peacock coverage?
ESPN AU did show the first Peacock Monday games which did not have any local broadcasts. So they can show
That probably is the condition NBC would allow.
Well today’s first game on ESPN was the NBC feed even though there was a local team feed as well. But the 2nd game is the local Denver Feed and not the NBC feed.
So it can’t be that NBC is only allowing their feed for exclusive NBC or Peacock games. So it’s just confusing overall
