A quick primer on who'll be at the mics for the Detroit Tigers on Fox Sports Detroit this season. Kirkland Crawford, Detroit Free Press
Fox Sports Detroit has new ownership. Again.
Sinclair Broadcast Group has purchased the 21 regional sports networks and Fox College Sports that Disney acquired from its purchase of most of Fox.
Sinclair, which owns the largest number of local TV stations in the country, will get the RSNs for $10.6 billion. The Wall Street Journal was first to report the deal was done.
According to a news release published by Sinclair, the RSNs will be run under a newly-formed subsidiary, Diamond Sports Group, run by Byron Allen, the owner of Entertainment Studios who bought The Weather Channel last year.
