Today, Fubo and Diamond Sports Group, the parent company of Bally Sports, announced a multi-year deal to keep the RSNs on the streaming service.
With this deal Fubo Subscribers will continue to have access to Bally Sports Detroit, Bally Sports Florida, Bally Sports Great Lakes, Bally Sports Indiana, Bally Sports Kansas City, Bally Sports Midwest, Bally Sports New Orleans, Bally Sports North, Bally Sports Ohio, Bally Sports Oklahoma, Bally Sports San Diego, Bally Sports SoCal, Bally Sports South, Bally Sports Southeast, Bally Sports Southwest, Bally Sports Sun, Bally Sports West and Bally Sports Wisconsin.
“We are thrilled to renew our agreement with Fubo, a major player in the vMVPD space and a leader in live sports streaming, to continue providing high quality local broadcasts to fans. With the vast majority of our distribution partners in multi-year carriage agreements, Diamond remains focused on completing our reorganization and emerging as a sustainable, profitable business.” Said David Preschlack, CEO of Diamond Sports.
Bally Sports recently reached deals to continue offering its channels on Spectrum, DIRECTV, and Cox Communications. However, Diamond Sports Group failed to reach a deal with Comcast, which resulted in the channels going dark a few weeks ago. This happened after Comcast reportedly tried to move the channels to a more expensive package.
Bally Sports RSNs will be getting a new name later this year as its contract with Ballys ends, forcing the channels to look for a new naming partner.
Exact details of the contract between Fubo and Diamond Sports Group have not been announced.
