Amazon is reportedly in talks with Diamond Sports Group to acquire streaming rights for regional sports networks (RSNs) such as Bally Sports Wisconsin, potentially allowing them to stream games from teams like the Brewers and Bucks. This partnership could also help Diamond Sports Group avoid liquidation and continue broadcasting on cable and satellite platforms. While the details and investment amount are unclear, any agreement would require approval from a bankruptcy judge and could result in games being streamed on Amazon instead of the Bally Sports Wisconsin app.

Diamond Sports Group, owner of RSNs for 40-plus teams, files for bankruptcy.

Diamond Sports Group, the company behind Bally Sports Wisconsin, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Despite this, Major League Baseball expects all games to be televised as usual. MLB is prepared to produce games themselves and offer them on both linear television and with a streaming option. The Brewers game will still be airing on Bally Sports Wisconsin when the season begins on March 31. MLB plans to take over broadcasts from Warner Brothers Discovery, but that takeover wouldn't happen in time for Opening Day. MLB also plans to keep local announcers intact whenever they take over broadcasts.
