Report: Bally Sports Owners Facing Bankruptcy | Sports Illustrated New Orleans Pelicans News, Analysis, and More

Regional sports networks potential bankruptcy could spark change in MLB coverage

With Sinclair’s Bally Sports regional sports networks likely headed for bankruptcy, that could affect nearly half the teams in Major League Baseball, and help spur change in how the sport is covered locally.

Think of how lazy you can be to let gambling be a loss for the house

I do believe that today is the day Adam Jones starts at WEEI? Is it called Mego and Arcand with Adam Jones?

2 pm to 6 pm, right?

Wlll he be able and/or willing to talk hockey when necessary (in the playoffs) better than Arcand and Mego?.

I’d rather my ears be chopped off than listen to this slug talk anything, Boston sports.

They are actually calling it 'The Dark Knight rises' on the ads this morning. More like 'Dark Nerd'. How do you make a show worse than it was, hire Adam Jones.

Did Adam give himself that nickname? Lolol

Hit the nail on the head though. He sucks. Predictable troll who doesn’t have enough knowledge in the sports he’s supposed to talk about so he picks easy topics that’ll fire up the dumb ones of each fan base.

I think Mazz coined that one.

I don't get this. Why is Marchand getting involved?

I mean I don't think there's any chance he'll do worse than what they had. Probably won't challenge Felger and Mazz but will still see an uptick. I keep saying this but the guy who put Felger and Mazz together is now running WEEI. I personally don't think Mego and Arcand get it done though. They need a stronger #2 with Jones. People can hate Jones but he's unquestionably a good host.

 

[smithformeragent]

The gambling talk is unlistenable for me.

Easy decision to tune out.
Glad I have SXM and I’ll just listen to music instead.

I was wondering the same.

No surprise games this year are physically harder to watch because of the f***ing moving ads. I know I have absolutely turned off NHL games because I couldn't stand it.

The four way split of ESPN plus, Turner, Nhl network and ESPN leaves potential viewers continually fishing for games. Poor covarage, with mediocre play by play and analysis on ESPN plus also hurts. Worse yet, I think Apple or Amazon will hone in soon and make the situation worse.

People aren’t going to pay extra to watch a game during the week. ESPN plus? I’m not paying to watch the B’s on there. I’m sure this is a factor as well.

Is there any subscriber data for NESN plus? Just curious because I really want it to fail, $360 dollars a year for NESN is a joke. Would be interested to see the Bruins TV numbers during this historic year too. Wouldn’t be surprised if they were down.

why NESN + is the auxiliary network all Bruins games are shown delayed at least twice in compact form once usually after the live broadcast....and once the next day..... never mind the Classic "on this Day"

When the Bruins have been on ESPN +, I haven’t watched. Sorry, not sorry.

It’s a horrific presentation, you aren’t missing out.

I have espn plus because it’s what replaced gamecenter so I can watch all the out of market games. It’s actually cheaper than Gamecenter was and works the same. The espn plus exclusive broadcasts are awful though.
