Bally Sports channels carried by the distributor Comcast went dark at the start of May after Comcast and Bally's bankrupt operator, Diamond Sports Group, failed to agree on a new contract, leaving Major League Baseball fans throughout the country without the ability to watch their local teams.
Diamond Sports Group originally agreed to a six-month extension with Comcast in the fall but could not agree on a new multiyear contract by the time that deal expired on Tuesday night, prompting Comcast to pull its Bally Sports channels.
Diamond Sports Group has secured multiyear deals with its two largest distributors: Charter and, as of Wednesday, DirecTV.
