The ongoing financial dispute between Sinclair Broadcast Group, which operates 19 regional sports networks nationwide, and programming providers who relay those broadcasts to consumers rolls on with no end in sight.
The squabble has been going on for months, and in some cases more than a year and a half, as an array of outlets have dropped the channels because they refuse to pay Sinclair’s asking price. Customers subscribing to Dish, Hulu Live, FuboTV, Sling TV and YouTube TV thus have been shut out of the RSNs, as the regional sports networks are known in the business. Locally, those services no longer carry Cardinals and Blues telecaster Bally Sports Midwest.
