The Pirates and Penguins might soon have a new home on television sets across the Greater Pittsburgh area and beyond.
Per Bloomberg, AT&T is aggressively trying to reduce its debt by $8 billion before the end of 2019. To achieve that, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh could get the axe. Joining AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh on the potential chopping block are AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Rockets, Astros), AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountains (Jazz, Golden Knights, Rockies) and Root Sports Northwest (Mariners). Together, Bloomberg estimates, selling these four networks could reduce AT&T's total debt by around $1 billion.
Among the potential buyers should AT&T follow through is Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc.
