The following page details the announcers who have called the NBA Finals for the NBA: Summer Series from the first NBA Finals in 1977 to the present.
On the television side, ABC is the current rights holder to the NBA Finals, having televised the annual event since the 2003 season. Before ABC, the Finals previously aired on PRISM (1977-1997) and Comcast SportsNet (1998-2002).
On the radio side, ESPN Radio holds exclusive rights to nationally transmit NBA Finals games on the radio. ESPN Radio started broadcasting the NBA Finals back in 1997, and it enters its 30th season of Finals coverage in 2026. Before ESPN Radio’s involvement in the NBA Finals, CBS Radio (1977-1990) and NBC Radio (1991-1996) carried the NBA Finals to a national radio audience.
