Amazon is reportedly still considering an investment in the 21 former Fox regional sports networks that Disney is auctioning off.
A CNBC report last November indicated that Amazon had placed a first-round bid for the RSNs, but the tech giant was not a final bidder for the whole package. Amazon is, however, a minority investor in a consortium working to buy a majority stake in the YES Network, which carries games for MLB’s Yankees and the NBA’s Nets.
Sinclair Broadcast Group is widely thought to be top bidder for the other 21 RSNs, but a recent New York Post report said that Sinclair is seeking help from Amazon to complete the $10 billion purchase.
