Diamond Sports Asks Bankruptcy Court for Emergency Hearing as Leagues Demand to See Sensitive Pay TV Contracts

Bally Sports.

Diamond Sports Group has asked a federal bankruptcy court for an emergency hearing on Tuesday, hoping to hold off strident demands from its pro-league partners to see its sensitive pay TV contracts. 

Diamond is still at an impasse on a new carriage agreement with Comcast for its Bally Sports-branded regional sports channels. The NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball want to examine the company's contracts with Charter Communications, DirecTV, Cox Communications and other pay TV providers to see if Diamond still has the distribution heft to remain a viable local TV partner.
