No games, and Charlie has no deal. Had he cut a deal he'd be charging is all for the games that are not playing.

Seems like this would be a good time for Charlie to reach out to Sinclair. They have to be even more worried about their future than they were a month ago. Fire sale on RSN's???
Yeah, I've got a YTTV sub going just to see if we could ever move to it. Still really dislike the lack of a "true" guide, but re: this thread (we're now in Birmingham) they kept one of the two Fox Sports channels (FX South) and dropped FX Southeast. Since FX South carries all of the Braves games, I don't think many subscribers in the area will miss the one they dropped at all. It does seem like a sign that Sinclair is willing to negotiate if they're letting YTTV pick and choose who they carry. Of course, hard to imagine how Sinclair can afford to keep Fox Sports Southeast alive.
Sinclair still has to service the debt from the purchase of the RSN’s from Disney.
They are not allowed to use the locals as leverage in the negotiations. Even Mission Broadcasting came to a 30 day deal to get the people their locals.
And what does that have to do with sports channels? Paying $5 or $6 a month per sub when there is no sports is a complete non satrter.
I think you have that backwards. Fox Sports Southeast carries most of the Braves games. So in Birmingham we are still out of luck for the most part.
Last year Fox Southeast carried games on weekdays and Fox South carried games on Fri, Sat, & Sun. If that’s still the case you will only get weekend games.
