Bally Sports South - no Braves?

BSSO is showing color bars instead of Braves v Astros. What gives?

Is this the first time this season this has happened? Usually, color bars instead of a game means you don't live in the "Braves area" and aren't authorized to watch it. If this is the first time, then it's most likely somebody pushing the wrong button somewhere and sending your area the wrong feed.

Bally Sports is in bankruptcy and is likely to shut down entirely. They have not been paying the fees to MLB for various teams and the MLB is starting to terminate their rights. Supposedly, the MLB will be airing games on their own networks as needed.

@andyross​ - but in that case, you would think that Bally Sports South would have aired alternate programming rather than a blank screen for 2 hours. Also, I think somebody would have mentioned it on the Internet if it was a case of the game not airing anywhere on Bally Sports South. This sounds more like a blackout zone issue.
