The Arizona Coyotes will evaluate their options regarding its future with Bally Sports.
The Arizona Coyotes are now the only team in the Valley to be under contract with Diamond Sports Group, the operator of Bally Sports Arizona.
This comes after Tuesday’s Texas Southern Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of Diamond Sports’ request to cease operations as the Diamondbacks’ TV partner.
“We are fully aware of the developments regarding Bally Sports Arizona,” the Coyotes said in a statement. “The Arizona Coyotes remain under contract with Bally Sports Arizona and remain hopeful that the network will continue to broadcast our games this season.
“Nonetheless, we will continue to evaluate all of our options, as needed, and will ensure that our great fans across the Valley are able to watch our games this fall. We will have no further comment until we have news to announce.”
Diamond Sports determined its contract with the Diamondbacks was not profitable which ultimately led to the split between the two parties. In a financial filing last fall, the company stated it had debt of $8.67 billion.
It's unknown what the future holds for the Coyotes with Bally Sports but for now they remain the lone team in Arizona still affiliated with the company and probably the last.
