Kevin Harlan’s CBS and Prime Video Contracts Unveiled
Kevin Harlan is one of the nation’s most familiar sports voices. He works across television and radio for multiple outlets.
Harlan currently carries assignments for CBS, Prime Video, and Westwood One. His credits also include high-profile commercials.
How his employer agreements work
Filmogaz.com’s Richard Deitsch unveiled key contractual details in a recent profile. The report explains how Harlan manages overlapping roles.
CBS holds contractual “first position” for Harlan. That status lets him set CBS assignments before scheduling other work.
Harlan calls NFL games for CBS. He is also a regular voice during the network’s March Madness coverage.
Staggered contracts and continuity
Harlan arranges his deals so their end dates do not all coincide. This staggered approach ensures at least one active contract at all times.
His Prime Video NBA agreement began this season. That deal runs for three years, while his CBS contract extends beyond it.
Travel, workload and personal time
Harlan keeps meticulous travel records. He has logged about 9 million miles of flights over his career.
He told Sports Media Watch in September he will trim his NBA workload early in the season. The change will allow more family time while keeping key assignments intact.

Harlan’s setup is not unusual for top broadcasters. But his high profile requires clear contractual priorities.
