Twins Games Vanish from Comcast: The Inside Story Behind the Breakdown of Negotiations between Diamond Sports and Bally Sports

Recently, negotiations between Comcast and Bally Sports’ owner, Diamond Sports, broke down. As a result, Twins games are no longer available on the Comcast network. The conflict arose due to Diamond Sports being in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings.

In response to the situation, Bally Sports displayed a message on the channel for Comcast Xfinity customers explaining that they had offered multiple options to continue carrying the networks but Diamond Sports declined each one.

The Twins expressed their disappointment over the dispute and emphasized that they have no role in the disagreement between Comcast and Bally Sports. They hope for a swift resolution so that fans can continue to watch their favorite local teams.

Diamond Sports Group reassured fans that they can still watch Bally Sports through other platforms such as Fubo, DirecTV, or the network’s streaming service despite being dropped by Comcast. In a statement, Diamond Sports said they were disappointed by Comcast’s rejection of a proposed extension to keep their channels on the air and prevent fans from watching their favorite local teams.

Comcast stressed that they had been flexible with Diamond Sports for months but were left with no choice but to drop the programming. As a result, Comcast plans to issue credits ranging from $8 to $10 to customers who had Bally Sports as part of their cable subscription as a result of it being removed from their lineup.
