Sinclair Broadcast Group And Bally’s Corporation Unveil Official Bally Sports Logo And Corresponding Regional Monikers
So, here’s some programming news. Sinclair Broadcast Group (who is the WORST) announced that their FOX Regional Sports Networks will be undergoing a rebrand, and it appears that FOX Tennessee and FOX Sports Carolina will be sunset entirely.

Preds games will ultimately end up residing on Bally Sports South (previously FOX Sports South) in the near future. There is no word on if the newly named networks will be available on streaming options (YoutubeTV, Hulu), but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Perhaps this is the first step towards Sinclair/Bally creating their own streaming platform.
