What
Happened?
At midnight,
Comcast Xfinity removed Bally Sports from its list of available channels. The
reason behind this sudden change lies in the financial struggles of Bally
Sports’ parent company, Diamond Sports Group, which is currently undergoing
bankruptcy proceedings.
Comcast claims
that it offered multiple options to continue carrying Bally Sports’ networks,
but the negotiations fell through. As a result, they no longer have the rights
to continue broadcasting Bally Sports content. Thankfully, fans have several
options to continue watching. Let’s break it down.

Cost: $98.99/month for the Choice package.
