The MLB has published they will allow them to continue airing RSN games on Bally Sports to ensure continued availability of these matches; however, the MLB Advanced Media contingency plan is still onboard in case Bally decides to stop airing them.

More on this... The Texas Rangers are looking to terminate the Bally deal early.

And the Texas Rangers are now invoking the MLB contingency plan at a Texas bankruptcy court after Diamond failed to pay:

This is the fifth team Bally might risk to lose, with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cleveland Guardians, Minnesota Twins and Cincinnati Reds; in this case, however, the Reds own a stake in Bally Sports Ohio and they could take over production internally as soon as possible:

Back to the RSN bubble burst, seems like Scripps' new Sports division is the biggest winner out there:

With the clock running on the grace period started when regional sports network operator Diamond Sports Group skipped a payment on its debt, “the phone has already been ringing off the hook” at Scripps Sports, according to E.W. Scripps CEO Adam Symson.

“I gotta say as we sit here today witnessing the implosion of the RSN business model . . . Scripps Sports has been getting a very warm reception in the marketplace,” Symson said on Scripps’s fourth-quarter earnings call Friday.

Big first get by Scripps Sports: they bought the Friday night package of games of the WNBA, which will air on Ion Television in an hybrid basis (some games will be nationally telecast, but others will be offered in a regional basis):

Although Scripps won't change the channel's programming scheme of only airing off-network syndicated reruns, the deal might certainly help to boost that network's profile as an alternative to other similar diginets (like Cozi TV, which also has a similar mix of content).
