A lot of these teams rely on RSNs for revenue, and the total loss of Bally Sports would have crippled those teams.

CircleSeven 1945 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) New deal. Cavs will air some of their games over the air. Five Cavaliers games will air on Gray-owned stations Cleveland's WUAB 43 & Cincinnati's WXIX 19. Gray has also struck a deal with Tegna, Nexstar & Cox Media Group to air some or all five games in nearby markets. In Columbus, Tegna's WBNS will air two games (4/6 & 4/7) on the main signal 10.1, while a third game (3/20) will air on MeTV subchannel 10.2. Nexstar's WCMH will air two games (3/8 & 3/29). In Dayton, Nexstar's WBDT will air three games (3/8, 3/20 & 3/29). CMG's WHIO will air two games (4/6 & 4/7). Nexstar's WTRF Wheeling and WYTV Youngstown will air all five games on their respective MyNet .2 subchannels.

mrschimpf 2090 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 It won't be "Bally Sports" after the baseball season ends. I know wouldn't happen, but it would be hilarious if it became ESPN Bet Sports (I'm sure Barstool or Pointsbet is the next one to chase for naming rights, honestly).

It'll probably have something tying it Amazon. Prime Sports? Amazon Sports? etc. They're not investing all that money to be a silent investor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 765 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) A little late on learning this, but Gray struck a deal to air the WFAA Mavericks package in two of its Texas markets (one of which technically is a border market with Oklahoma): * In Lubbock, KLCW and KMYL will split the games evenly between them (3/1, 3/13, 3/29, 4/5 and 4/10 on KLCW, and 3/11, 3/21, 4/4, 4/9 and 4/12 on KMYL). * In the Sherman-Ada market, KXII will air most of the games on its MyNetworkTV subchannel 12.2, while the remaining two games (3/29 & 4/12) will air on its Fox sub on 12.3.

And per TVPassport, it looks like at least tonight's Cavs game will also air in Pittsburgh on WPKD channel 19 (aka KDKA+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3534 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 With this, it throws Bally Sports back into question. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40153860/loss-comcast-tv-carrier-devastating Let it die. Comcast customers will not miss the RSN fees on top of all of the other "fees" they have to pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not FanDuel's initial TV presence as there's already FanDuel TV (formerly TVG), a horse racing network interspersed with sports programming, particularly in the weekday morning hours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the quickest way to drive the network(s) into the ground. Especially if the Barstool people are actually entrusted with games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
