Bally Sports Channels Pulled Off Air By Comcast
Posted: Fri May 3, 2024 12:52 pm
Bally Sports channels carried by Comcast went dark at the start of May after Comcast and Bally\'s bankrupt operator, Diamond Sports Group, failed to agree on a new contract.
That left Major League Baseball fans throughout the country without the ability to watch their local teams.
Diamond Sports Group originally agreed to a six-month extension with Comcast in the fall but could not agree on a new multiyear contract by the time that deal expired on Tuesday night.
Diamond Sports Group has secured multiyear deals with its two largest distributors: Charter and, as of Wednesday, DirecTV.
