Birmingham, AL, October 28, 2026 —
Ernie Johnson, host of TNT’s Inside the NBA, has announced that the current season will be his last on the program. He plans to reduce his workload while continuing other broadcasting commitments.
The announcement marks a change in Johnson’s role at the program, but the information provided does not specify when he made the announcement or when his final appearance will take place. It also does not identify which other broadcasting commitments he plans to continue.
Johnson’s stated plan is to step away from Inside the NBA after the current season, rather than to end his broadcasting work altogether. No additional details were provided about the reasons for the decision, whether he will take on a different role with the program, or who might take his place.
The announcement leaves those questions unanswered. It does not include a timeline beyond identifying the current season as his last on the show, nor does it provide information about plans for the program after his departure. The length of Johnson’s tenure on Inside the NBA was not specified in the information available.
For now, the stated change is limited to Johnson’s future on the TNT program: he intends to leave after the current season, reduce his workload and maintain other broadcasting commitments. Further details about his schedule or the show’s next steps were not provided.
