No Movement in MSG Networks/Optimum Carriage (Dis)Agreement
Briefly

"This is a pure and simple price gauge from Altice. An attempt to add over $10 dollars a month right to their bottom line - a $10 dollar rate increase on top of a 50% rate increase. We remain ready to negotiate in good faith to get our programming back on Optimum."
"Optimum offered to absorb their egregious price demands if we could package MSG Networks in a way that would give more flexibility and control to our customers so that fans could continue to watch and pay for their content while non-viewers would not be forced to pay for what they don't watch. MSG Networks said no and refused multiple offers from us to reach a deal."
"It is no secret that viewership for Regional Sports Networks has become increasingly fragmented across countless streaming platforms and services. Yet MSG Networks continues to squeeze its viewers for more money to watch their content, refusing to evolve or deviate from a broken model that is outdated based on the evolution of the entertainment industry, is anti-consumer, and unsustainable in today's programming landscape."
