Yeah I’m a YouTube tv guy. However the ESPN+ sounds like a possibility. I’ll miss Tripp, Mike, and Hannah, oh and the hope of seeing my Marley Drug girl again. Oh well, one can dream.

It’s a little funky at times. I need to restart my iPad, connect VPN to some other server in states and then open ESPN app and watch game, usually I cast to Apple TV so it’s on my main tv. Works well though.

Also choose hurricanes stream so I get Tripp and team

Serious can they not fix their authentication server? Have to log in every fugging night now. Makes me worried about their money services server if it’s not third party.

Amazon is now a minority owner of Diamond Sports Group’s Bally Sports regional networks.

Diamond announced Wednesday that Amazon had taken a minority stake in the company as part of its bankruptcy restructuring. More significantly for sports fans across the country, Amazon’s stake in the company means that games televised on Bally Sports channels will be available to local fans via Amazon Prime.

Nearly 40 teams across MLB, the NBA and the NHL have local television contracts with Bally Sports regional affiliates, but not all television providers have deals to carry Bally Sports networks. YouTubeTV users have long been unable to watch their local teams’ games without subscribing to Bally Sports’ streaming service.

Now, those fans should be able to see their teams play if they have an Amazon Prime subscription.

------------------------------------------

I, like many others, have a Bally Sports subscription at $20 per month on top of my Hulu + Live, Amazon, Apple+, and Netflix. I stream it on my laptop and share it to my TV. It'll be nice to just have to turn on Amazon Prime and watch.

I wouldn’t count on it available that soon-

“It is not clear when Bally Sports will start streaming on Amazon, and the deal still needs to be approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.”

Also it sounds like there will be a separate subscription cost to view the Bally Sports for Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Prime Members-

“According to a press release from Diamond Sports on Wednesday, Prime Video subscribers will be able to purchase “direct-to-consumer” streaming from all local channels operated by Diamond, which will make Amazon its “primary partner” for streaming access.

It is not clear how much it may cost to view Bally Sports content through Amazon Prime Video, a service that can be accessed through an Amazon Prime subscription or an $8.99 per month standalone Prime Video subscription.

Diamond Sports Group said details about pricing and availability for the new streaming services would be announced at a later date.“
