Amazon Invests in Bally Sports Networks
More major news for sports on streaming TV. Sounds like Amazon has stepped in to save Bally Sports and take over their streaming service. Sounds like Bally Sports will still be on cable and Amazon won't have local streaming rights for all the Bally MLB teams but the Royals will be one of them. Haven't said how much it'll cost. I imagine this is the first step in a future where local MLB, NBA, NHL games, etc. are all streaming too.

https://cordcuttersnews.com/amazon-b...mer-streaming/

Quote:
Today, Diamond Sports, the parent company of Bally Sports RSNs, announced a deal that will allow it to exit bankruptcy. With this deal, Amazon will become a minority investor in Diamond Sports, the owner of Bally Sports. This deal will see Amazon become the new home of Bally Sports streaming for direct-to-consumer packages.

“We are thrilled to have reached a comprehensive restructuring agreement that provides a detailed framework for a reorganization plan and substantial new financing that will enable Diamond to operate and thrive beyond 2024. We are grateful for the support from Amazon and a group of our largest creditors who clearly believe in the value-creating potential of this business. Diamond’s near-term focus will be on implementing the RSA and emerging from bankruptcy as a going concern for the benefit of our investors, our employees, our team, league and distribution partners, and the millions of fans who will continue to enjoy our broadcasts.” Said David Preschlack, CEO of Diamond Sports.

This deal with Amazon will let Americans buy live access to MLB, NBA, and NHL games through Amazon’s Prime Video channels. This offer is only good for customers who live inside the markets these teams play with.

Also, with this deal, Sinclair agrees to pay Diamond Sports $495 million and continue to provide ongoing management and transitional services. This will end the ongoing lawsuit between the two companies.

With this deal, Diamond Sports has also reached a deal over the Bally Sports naming rights. Per the deal Bally Sports can continue to use its current name through the 2024 MLB season at no cost. After the end of the 2024 MLB season, its naming rights deal will end with Bally ending the partnership to name the RSNs Bally Sports.

So, does this mean by the maps on there that Minnesota and north and south Dakota only get twins, wild, wolves games?

That is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade. I didn't watch but just a handful of Royals games last year, because I have YTTV, and I wasn't paying for that package on Bally Sports. I assume there will be an additional fee to watch the Royals on top of my Amazon Prime fee?

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred balked at the idea of a multi-year Amazon partnership with Diamond recently, preferring instead to deal directly with Amazon, but the new deal with Diamond would reportedly give Amazon streaming rights to five teams (Detroit, Kansas City, Miami, Milwaukee and Tampa Bay) in 2024.

Sounds like the twins would be on bally this year for most games, but there are no definite answers in those articles.

To me, someone in Minnesota needs to start a Minnesota sports channel,
Pro (except vikings), HS, small college sports.. PPV or paid subscription. There is a want for it.

So my question is that showed twins for North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. So would they only show twins games in that market, KC games in the KC market, Missouri, Iowa, etc?

Reason I ask is I've got a number of friends here that are twins fans, so being in Iowa would they stream twins games here, or just KC, and when they play the twins, etc.

Does that make sense? Or do we even know.
