Affiliates[edit]

It is difficult to tell which networks are still affiliates of Bally Sports. Does Bally even produce any regularly scheduled programming nationally like Fox used to do? I do not believe they currently have any contracts with to produce college sports. The ACC games carried by FSN seem to be produced by ESPN/Raycom. NESN is usually the only non-FSN affiliate to pick these up. For now, I have removed NESN since I can't find any evidence that it even affiliated with FSN (except during the 90s). I will add it back in if someone can find proof. On the other hand, MSG/MSG Plus seems to have never stopped carrying FSN programming despite YES also carrying it. In 2018, Fox said they had 5 affiliated RSNs. I'm guessing ATT Rocky Mountain, ATT Pittsburgh, Root Sports, MSG Network/MSG Plus, and MASN. So assuming nothing else has changed there are now 7 with the addition of Marquee and YES now being only partially owned by Sinclair.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:22, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
