Comcast Cable Pulls Bally Sports Regional Networks From Service

Last Wednesday May 1st, Comcast Cable in the US pulled Bally Sports Regional networks from their service.  Bally has the broadcast rights to various major league baseball teams including the Detroit Tigers. For now 11 MLB teams are no longer available to Comcast customers.  Bally's owner Diamond Sports Group has been in bankruptcy protection for over one year since March 2023.  More from CNBC..https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/01/bally-sports-regional-networks-go-dark-for-comcast-cable-customers.html

I thought (the parent company of)  Bally Sports was already bankrupt.  https://www.freep.com/story/sports/2023/11/16/bally-sports-detroit-diamond-sports-group-parent-company-bankruptcy/71608374007/
