NBA TV to Give Fans Right to Vote
The interactive fan vote will continue to decide which league game is televised on Tuesdays throughout the season

The National Basketball Association will once a week allow fans to vote on which games are televised during the upcoming season on NBA TV.

Dubbed Fan Night, starting on Tuesday Oct. 28 fans can log onto NBA.com and vote for which game will be broadcast on the following Tuesday. The interactive fan vote will continue to decide which league game is televised on Tuesdays throughout the season (NBA TV will showcase a total of 96 games this year).

To promote its 10-year-old network, the league is also planning to make NBA TV available free to cable and satellite subscribers during a free preview Oct. 28 to Nov. 4. The network?s first game telecast is set for Nov.1, featuring the Washington Wizards visiting the Detroit Pistons.

I think this is a great idea for those of us who already have the channel.  I don't know if people are going to pay for the package this is included in just in case they might play games they want to see on Tuesdays.

These are the same fans who vote on all stars right?

Not sure this is such a hot idea.

Apples and oranges....

People who vote on all-stars do so out of popularity.  Since the most popular teams in this league get their games televised anyways I don't think that you would have the same problem/issue.
