Baley Sports

I Agree all these cable companies are all in for themselves. I’ve been a Xfinity customer since the days when they were McClane Hunter . Maybe it time to kick them to the curb . No Red Wings or Tigers . What I pay a month for cable is totally ridiculous. I’m a stubborn old man who loves his sports teams . Maybe this is the last straw. Now where do I go . Bally is in bankruptcy so they must be part of the problem. Also the prices to go see a game is so ridiculous who can afford to go . All you people are just a bunch greedy people.

This was posted on CNBC news yesterday. Bally Sports regional networks went dark for Comcast cable customers early Wednesday, a month into MLB’s regular season, as carriage negotiations broke down with the channels’ bankrupt operator Diamond Sports Group. Comcast’s Xfinity pay-TV customers will automatically receive $8 to $10 a month in credits, the cable company said. The carriage spat presents another pain point for Diamond Sports — which is looking to emerge from bankruptcy this year — as well as for the beleaguered regional sports network industry.

On April 30, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), our agreement with Diamond Sports Group (DSG) to carry its regional sports network (RSN) Bally Sports expired. As a result, we are no longer authorized to carry Bally Sports with Xfinity or Comcast Business, including any related programming on Xfinity Stream.

We’ve been flexible with DSG, who is in bankruptcy proceedings, but have been unable to reach an agreement that’s fair for our customers. The loss of this channel will result in savings that we’ll pass along to you, and you’ll see an automatic credit in your bill in the coming weeks.
