The Yankees, Amazon and Sinclair Broadcast Group have reached a deal with Disney to buy the YES Network for $3.47 billion, The Post has learned.
The Post on Thursday broke the news that the group was near a deal to buy YES, one of New York’s most prominent cable sports channels, from Disney for about $3.5 billion.
The deal, which has been accepted by Disney, will be for the 80 percent of YES that the Yankees don’t already own.
Disney is selling YES — along with 21 other regional sports channels throughout the country — to gain regulatory approval for its $71 billion deal to buy Twenty-First Century Fox because Disney also owns ESPN.
