OAKLAND – As the Cincinnati Reds travel on a six-game road trip through Oakland and San Diego, this might be the last week their games are broadcast through Bally Sports Ohio on TV.
Diamond Sports Group, the parent company for Bally Sports Ohio, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March and it missed its last rights fees payment to the Reds on April 17, according to a report from the Sports Business Journal. Diamond has a 15-day period to make the payment without penalty and if it misses that window, it’s possible Major League Baseball could secure the TV rights to Reds games.
