    Has anyone figured out how to watch regional sports networks (Fox SportsSouth, SouthEast, etc.) now that Sinclair has hosed everyone?
    I have Hulu Live, and now we can't watch the Braves.

    I have cable as part of my leasing and it’s the only reason I have the Bally Sports Florida networks at all. Still not back on YouTube TV.

    Not yet. I can't even find a story where Sinclair/Bally is even negotiating with the major streaming services. According to CordCuttersNews, the Bally Sports App launch release claims they have a soft 2022 rollout of direct-to-consumer service planned because they want to hook live betting to it -- and my guess is they don't have the technology in place to do it right (or at all).

    AT&T TV claims to carry Bally Sports South, but I'm not paying $85/month to switch. Of course, it sucks that the entire southeast is considered the Braves market by MLB.TV, so that's another dead end.

    Perhaps they might have thought this out a little better?

    Yea, through MLB.tv — free with my Sprint service for my cell phone.

    MLB.TV is great. Just $0.75 a game to watch on my 65-inch TV or any other device. I watched the Yankee game in my car while waiting to pick up my kids from school today rather than just listening on the radio.

    I definitely spend money on dumber things.

    It annoys me that I have NBA League Pass and can’t see any of the local team’s games - they are blacked out but I have You Tube TV so I don’t have the RSN.

    On the flip side, I have a vested interest in Sinclair losing as much money as possible so it’s a small price to pay.

    Every word of this 100% has been my experience.

    MLB.TV is even better for our household. Because we live a quarter mile from the state border, it’s confused as to where we live and we don’t get blacked out for any teams.
