Diamond Sports Group and Cox Communications have renewed their distribution agreement for Diamond’s regional sports networks, ensuring that Cox Contour TV Preferred and Ultimate customers will continue to have access to live MLB, NBA, and NHL games as well as team-related content on Diamond’s RSN channels. Customers can also stream Diamond’s RSN content through the Bally Sports app by authenticating with their Cox subscription credentials. For those who do not have access to Diamond’s RSN channels, they will be able to purchase Diamond’s Direct-to-Consumer product through Cox to access local DTC content for the teams that Diamond retains rights for.
David Preschlack, CEO of Diamond, expressed his excitement about this agreement being a significant milestone for the company’s future business endeavors. He is pleased to continue partnering with Cox to provide high-quality local sports broadcasts to dedicated fans. Suzanne Fenwick, Senior Vice President of Content Acquisition for Cox Communications, also expressed her delight in extending the partnership with Diamond and looks forward to delivering regional sports content to Cox subscribers. This renewal with Cox follows Diamond’s previously announced multi-year renewal of its distribution agreement with Charter Communications, Inc.
