You will need to keep an eye on this as it may impact our access to watch the Coyotes and any other NHL team whose TV rights are owned by Sinclair Broadcasting Group.
This includes Bally Sports Arizona.

**fuck** Sinclair Broadcasting. [they’re the personification of everything that is wrong with news media today.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fHfgU8oMSo)
I will deal with struggling to watch yotes games if it gets to that (it probably wont, restructuring bankruptcy means they can keep operating) if it means they die off.
AZ Family is starting their own OTA RSN and just signed a deal with the Rising for the next three seasons. Could be a landing spot for the Yotes is this (hopefully) means the end of Bally.
Good riddance. I’ve never seen a company pay so much money to get a product they refuse to sell me.
The sad part is that this money owed to the NHL and or teams that will probably never come, thus lowering the cap.
