What an epic disaster it’s been moving these games to WVUE. Only the Pels could make Ballys Sports actually look appealing.


They've gotten much better ratings on Gray than Bally's. The problem is it looks like they have no streaming option as far as I can see. That's extra crazy when:

1) Bally's doesn't have the games and they've blacked out national broadcasts for these previously, so there shouldn't be a local streaming rights conflict
2) Gray Media has a streaming service called Zeam where they stream all of their local news programming.

How could they not be streaming these games? I can't think of a good legal, technical, or business reason.

My guess, and just a guess, since this 10 game package was allowed by courts as part of Bally/Diamond sports bankruptcy settlement that something in the settlement only allowed them to sell OTA rights to this 10 game package and precluded streaming rights, which Ballys/Diamond owns locally.

I’d think this will be worked out next year, as Pels will be able to take their full local rights to market after this season
