How come hockey gets more highlight time than basketball?

SkyHigh: How come hockey gets more highlight time than basketball?
Is it because the producers are racist ?

When I watch sports highlights, they spend like one hour on the hockey games, reviewing the action that happened every quarter plus a post-game interview, but when it comes to basketball, it’s only a couple seconds. Why is that ?
I don’t want to sound biased when I say this.

What country do you live in??

The NBA has its own show dedicated to basketball. It has its own network dedicated to basketball. College basketball gets more air time than hockey. I don’t know what you’re watching but that is simply not true what you said.

are you in canada or U.S.? I live in canada and I share that pain. I can only watch highlights after the basketball game(s) are over on the Score. if you live in Canada, it’s because more canadians like hockey. for me, I hate hockey, only sports I watch is CFL and NBA and NCAA Basketball

Are you in Canada?

Take note…we have one NBA team here that doesn’t draw flies, and six NHL franchises that sell out every game.
