> Comcast, the dominant cable provider in South Florida, indicated it will yank Bally Sports networks nationally from the homes of all of its subscribers at midnight Tuesday night after months of negotiations between Comcast and Diamond Sports Group (which owns the Bally sports regionals) failed to produce a new carriage agreement.
> Under terms of the NBA’s national TV contracts, Bally Sports Sun is carrying Game 5 of the Heat-Celtics playoff series at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday but would be permitted to televise just one more Heat game this postseason: Game 6 on Friday night, if the Heat prolongs the series by upsetting the Celtics in Game 5.
>Those Bally cablecasts of the Heat, with announcers Eric Reid and John Crotty, will be unavailable in Comcast homes, barring an unexpected agreement between Diamond and Comcast.

Wtf, what does this look like for regular season games next year I wonder. I’ve been itching to drop Comcast cable. The heat games were one of the only reasons I continued. I guess this will make my decision a bit easier.
Wow. Finally the last excuse I needed to cancel my cable.
The end of an era. Holy shit.
I am not looking forward to using Bally’s shitty app though.
Lmao. Lived in Colorado for 9 years and dealt with this same bs there where you couldn’t watch nuggets game through cable in state for the longest time… now we get to deal with it with the Heat…. Everyone should drop comcast if you haven’t already
Is this just for NBA or all sports on Bally for soflo?
Soooo the biggest cable provider in south florida is dropping the only channel that heat games are televised…. OKAY……… 😒
