What a great deal for the MLB, NHL, and NBA fans here in the Great Lakes and North Central area. If you're a sports fan you already know that Sinclair Communications bought out Fox Sports. Bally has paid Sinclair millions for the "naming rights"; i,e you are searching for your game and it will appear as Bally instead of Fox on your TV menu.
Here's the deal. Sinclair raised the ante to the cable and stream providers so high that they were forced to drop Sinclair/Bally. In my area there is no sports on TV except for the so called game of the week which is not part of Sinclair. Sooner or later this has to have an effect on the sports teams bottom line. In my case, Fubo is my streamer and the national going rate is about $65 per month. Now that Fubo has dropped Sinclair/Bally, I haven't seen a decrease in my monthly bill. But, as soon as Fubo (and the others) cut their deals with Sinclair/Nally, I can expect to see an increase in my monthly rate if I want to continue with sports. Not fair but that's the way it's heading. There's another option. Somehow or another AT&T has Sinclair/Bally on cable. That would be $85 please and thank you. Something's not right with all of this but in the meantime I guess I'll go back to listening to the Tigers on the radio.
