After negotiations with Optimum – the sister company of News 12 – and MSG Networks, the two sides were unable to come to a new agreement that would keep their channels on the air.
According to Optimum, MSG Networks demanded “exorbitant fees” that would result in higher rates for customers – despite the majority not watching MSG Networks’ content at all – and refused multiple offers to reach a fair deal for viewers.
According to a statement from Optimum:
Optimum has been working day and night to reach a new agreement with MSG Networks that works for our customers and their budgets. It is unfair for MSG Networks to demand more money from their viewers, especially when there are ways for fans to get games directly from MSG through other direct-to-consumer options.
Fans looking to watch their favorite teams can contact Optimum for alternate viewing solutions as the TV provider says they want to ensure fans “never have to miss a game.”
As of today, Optimum and MSG have been unable to reach an agreement to keep MSG channels on the air for Optimum customers. This means that Optimum subscribers may lose access to popular channels like MSG, MSG+, and MSG2.
Both companies are currently in negotiations to try and come to a resolution, but as of now, it looks like Optimum customers may be left without their favorite sports content and programming.
We will continue to update you on any developments in this situation. In the meantime, we recommend reaching out to Optimum customer service for more information on how this may affect your service.
