Fox Sports Nets

[Dembinskij76]

Sorry if there is already a topic in this. Has anyone found an inexpensive way to stream your local Fox Sports Net (in my case southwest) without either canceling dish network or have to buy another providers service? I’m in NW Arkansas so the Cardinals and Royals are considered home teams and are on FSN SW+ so MLB extra innings is not an option due to blackouts. Any chance Dish might offer some additional Pay option for those who wish to purchase it?

It was rumored in another thread that people could possibly get their RSNs as a standalone service. Soon.

I sure hope this is true and soon really does mean soon.

Sinclair CEO Says Upcoming RSN Direct-to-Consumer Offering Will Complement to Pay-TV Business

The end of November brought with it some big news from Sinclair. The company announced they reached a deal with Bally’s Corporation which would see Bally Sports become the new name of Fox Sports RSNs. They followed that …

Here is one of them. The Sinclair CEO said "It doesn’t really change the relationship with distributors. They are extremely important to us. Whatever we do in direct-to-consumer will be complementary to our existing distribution relationships"

Hmmm... just watch them put some games exclusively on the direct-to-consumer streaming service, while other games are exclusively only on the existing RSN's, thus requiring customers to subscribe to both, in order to get access to all of the games.

That would absolutely stink...but I wouldn't put it past some of these companies in order to milk every dollar out of their products.

Bumping this up after Sinclair's earnings call earlier this week:

• Sinclair is looking to launch RSN's direct to consumer starting in 2022
• The only major deal that Sinclair has to make this year is with Dish, and it occurs during the summer.
• The CEO implied that the RSN's will be bundled with the locals.

Good. Maybe I'll get the RSN's with my $15 Locals Only core package then.

Sounds like your $15 locals may go to $30.

Sounds like your $15 locals may go to $30.

At least it would give me the ability to get the RSN's, though. Before when Dish carried them, they were not available at all with any package below Flex Pack (with an optional add-on package) or AT120+ (included in package).

I wish that were the case - I would gladly take a Locals only package with the RSN!!! Granted, my wording was bad. Should have probably said that the locals would be dropped from all packages without the RSN's as they are negotiated together.

I highly doubt that a combination of locals and RSN’s will make Dish change there mind on things

It would if Charlie could get a good deal.

Charlie got $5 a month per sub by dropping rsns..can't beat that

We switched providers. I was tired of paying dish for programming I wasn’t getting.

I went back with Directv. Don’t mind paying a little bit more to get what we want to watch.

What programming were you paying for that you weren’t getting? Because it wasn’t the RSNs, as you proved that point with “I’m willing to pay more money”... so you’re not paying for something you’re not getting. What you meant is you’re tired of not paying for something you’re not getting and are willing to pay to get it. Those are not the same statements.
