Diamond Sports Group, operating under the name Bally Sports, is in its 18th month of bankruptcy, affecting how fans consume sports and local broadcasts.
The uncertainty surrounding Diamond has struck a particular blow to baseball fans, with significant cuts and disruptions in broadcast availability leading to a less stable viewing environment.
Diamond’s situation exemplifies the volatile media landscape, with $8 billion in debt from RSN acquisitions, resulting in constraints on MLB owners’ spending and fan engagement.
With Comcast pulling Bally Sports channels, fans have faced critical challenges, particularly those following teams without viable streaming alternatives.
