Sinclair/FSN rebranding to Bally Sports

[dannyboy24]

Hello,

I wanted to ask if anything was going to be changing with the Sinclair/FSN regional channels finally getting rebranded to Bally Sports on March 31. Would we not be able to access our channels anymore with tv everywhere.

I just wanted to see if anyone had any insight on this.

P.S. IMO bally sports is one of the dumbest names for a sports network but as we all know cash is king.

I wouldn’t expect the rebranding to change the TVE obligations that already exist under the contracts. On the other hand, if the URLs to the content change it’s likely the Devs will have to update Channels to the new locations so there may be a period of time they aren’t available while that is done.

It looks like the old fs2go streaming servers were shut off today. When you try to tune those streams, you just get random 12s of content from before the feed was shut off abruptly. The new ballysports.com servers have switched to a different streaming format which is not compatible with Channels DVR. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to make this work. We will be removing the channels from the lineup to prevent confusion.
