Is MSG Network's clash with Altice coming to an end?
It's Jan. 22, which means it's been 22 days since New York Islanders, New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, and New York Knicks fans who have Altice have been able to watch their favorite team.
MSG Networks has worked to reach an agreement with Altice USA, but the television company has been unwilling to resolve the issue.
MSG made an announcement on Tuesday night that they're willing to agree to a short-term extension:
In a previous press release by Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis of New York and Congressman Jefferson Van Drew of New Jersey, they shared the following statement:
"Consumers should not pay the same fees for diminished service, and providers should proactively issue rebates when significant content…is removed.’ Instead, Altice is pocketing the money to the tune of more than $120 million in annual fees they should be reimbursing customers for the MSG Networks and other programming they are no longer carrying. They have already taken more than $5M in just two weeks by cutting off MSG Networks and keeping their subscribers’ money. This is unacceptable."
We'll see how much longer this feud goes on.
