Comcast, JA network achieve last-minute deal to avoid Yankees Blackout

In a surprising development, YES Network and Comcast reached a new carriage contract on Monday evening, which only became dark before the regional sports network in the households of Xfinity Dark in the households in Northern New Jersey, in the Lower Hudson Valley and in parts of Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

An informal expansion of the JA-ComCast-Wagenfehde should run at 11:59 p.m. ET, which would have caused the RSN to be given in a short time. As the CEO of Yes Jon Litner informed the audience about the Brewers Yankees game on Sunday, comcast Network Brass informed that “the yes network on Monday evening at midnight from the program for programming”.

The last minute deal was announced in a joint explanation that was published late Monday evening.

The conditions of the renewal have not been revealed, but it is assumed that YES has remained on comcasts of extended basic level since the start in 2002. As with other RSNs such as NESN and its own NBC Sports Bay Area and NBC Sport California, comcasts have planned. Month.

The campaign would have led more to a severe decline in the range of YES Network. According to a formal program of programs, which was submitted by the FCC Sunday by General Counsel Derek Heuzey, comcasts digital level “approximately 30% fewer subscribers” than the cheaper offer.

The Legacy Carriage deal ran on September 30, 2024, but Comcast and Yes negotiated the roof of a number of unofficial extensions all winter.

RSN electricity failures have become more and more common when the cable bundle continues to shrink, and lately a handful of carriages have led to permanent exile. The DISH Network has not brought a RSN with it since it separated from Masn and the NBC Sports RSNS in April 2021, while the MSG networks disappeared from ComCast’s line -up six months later.

While the FCC did not issue an answer to the yes complaint, the chairman Brendan Carr announced that he had monitored the situation. Carr went on social media on Sunday afternoon to set fire to a fire and publish the news: “I would encourage a quick and cheap solution to the benefit of all” for his X account under a screen grave of one New York Post Headline in connection with the matter. Carr continued that the Commission is “authorized to get into discriminatory behavioral systems and tackle them”, even though he did not work any further.

It is unclear whether the formal petition to the FCC played a role in a breakthrough on Monday evening, but a carriage junk recently cleared by Disney and DirectV was submitted exactly one week after submitting a satellite TV provider during the commission.
