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.
 
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?

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.
