As of midnight last night, Bally is no longer on Xfinity. Guess we'll be switching to FUBO.
Yep. Paying out the nose for xfinity and now can't watch the Braves.As of midnight last night, Bally is no longer on Xfinity. Guess we'll be switching to FUBO.

Diamond is in the middle of a protracted bankruptcy process, and a confirmation hearing for a restructuring plan that could help it avoid liquidation is set for June. But one of the keys for that plan to be successful is Diamond reaching an agreement with major distributors, such as Comcast — something Comcast potentially could leverage. Diamond has told a federal bankruptcy court in Houston that about 81 percent of its distribution revenue is tied to three companies: Charter, Comcast and DirecTV.
Deals with Charter and DirecTV have both been announced, but a fight with Comcast is nonetheless a major issue. Diamond could attempt to leverage the fact it was able to complete deals elsewhere as a pressure point on Comcast.
Talks between Diamond and Comcast broke down over a disagreement over pricing tiers, according to a person familiar with the negotiations. Comcast has moved several independent RSNs to its digital premier tier — a subscription package that is roughly $20 more than its basic tier, where the RSNs previously resided — and wants to move all the Bally channels to this tier.
Diamond wants to keep the Bally channels on the basic tier of Comcast's package. The sides have been negotiating for months after Comcast gave Diamond a six-month extension last fall. That extension expired Tuesday, and with no deal in place Comcast dropped the Bally channels late Tuesday night.
Braves Who?
