Bally sports

Is anybody else concerned that direct tv might lose their contract with Bally sports. I keep asking around but i cant get a definitive answer. This includes both direct tv satellite and stream.

Not at all! If they lose the contract, it will be because of price. I personally don't want another giant increase. With Bally coming out (maybe all ready out) with their own service, you can subscribe with Bally if you need the option.

Guess you need a supported device. A one time price is better than a monthly increase.

Just have to wait and see. No one here has any inside connections to know their plans.

Current Bally Sports/Directv contract expires at the end of 2023. That doesn't mean they won't renew it.

We are discussing contract renewal with the content provider, and at the moment there is not an estimated time for the agreement to be reached. As soon as there is an update regarding this contract negotiation, our customers will be notified via email/bill.

We'll be here to give you a hand in case is needed.

Bally is the only reason I have DirecTV. If it gets dropped I will look at options. I hope it remains in my package.
