DAT: Bankruptcy court plan calls for AT&T, DirecTV to take over Comcast SportsN
Posted by Prominentwon on 8/7/14 at 9:54 am30

According to an investment agreement involving AT&T, DirecTV Sports Networks, the Astros and Rockets and signed by Astros owner Jim Crane and Rockets CEO Tad Brown, the Houston Regional Sports Network partnership will be reorganized as a limited liability company with 1,000 common shares – 40 percent to AT&T, 60 percent to DirecTV Sports Networks.

The new network will provide a considerable viewership boost, since DirecTV has 21 percent of TV households in the Houston area and U-verse has 22.7 percent.
The Comcast affiliation agreement will be assumed, so the new network, presumably to be called Root Sports Houston or whatever, will be seen on Comcast Houston.
More legal action could result from the reorganization and Comcast’s ownership departure. “The plan contemplates the creation of a litigation trust to investigate and potential pursue claims (the teams) could prosecute against Comcast,” attorneys said in the disclosure statement.
The teams apparently also are going to fight Comcast over repayment of the $100 million secured loan from Comcast for startup costs.
As of this filing, unsecured claims against the HRSN partnership total $106.5 million.

Reorganization plan does not state this specifically, but CSN Houston under this plan apparently would become Root Sports Houston.
