There will be a lot of stress for fans if Bally Sports goes away.
The National broadcast schedule has been released for the upcoming season, and Columbus Blue Jacket fans will be rightfully upset.
The NHL on TNT schedule as of now, doesn’t have the CBJ on it. You can see that schedule here. Although most Columbus fans prefer to watch the local broadcasts, it's nice to see the team showcased on national television every now and then.
Three CBJ games will be on ESPN+/Hulu this season, against the Dallas Stars, Carolina Hurricanes, and Florida Panthers.
With all the uncertainty surrounding the future of Blue Jacket games being on Bally Sports, not having a way to watch the games will most certainly cause some anxiety in Columbus.
