Twitter Inc said on Tuesday it had signed a deal with the NBA to stream exclusive non-game programing.

The NBA deal follows Twitter’s recent agreement with the NFL to stream games this fall.

Twitter said it would deliver a free live stream of a new weekly pre-game NBA show that will be available to both logged-in and logged-out Twitter users. (on.nba.com/2adhW8z)
