The impending death of Bally Sports

I suspected when they made the changes earlier this year and the vagueness of his status that he is on some kind of contract/game by game basis. They will call him when they need him. 

Also possible the event he is working may have been set up a long time ago - e.g - last year.

I wondered that last night myself. I haven't been watching today's game at all closely, but I saw a bit of him in the booth with Selleck. I guess that could well have been set up prior to the season, too. I assume it would be cheaper to bring him back for it since they would probably have to pay him even if they reassign it.

I did a DuckDuckGo search on his name and got a link to a LinkedIn post he made. it's since been deleted, but DDG must have it still cached.

Excited to share a new update - I'm continuing part-time with FanDuel Sports Network while expanding heavily into more freelance videography, video…

there's no date on it, but I imagine it was from shortly before the season, after he was let go from full-time work.

I use Sportsurge.to or Streameast to stream the games.  Sometimes it's slow or stops, and you have to put up with and close out annoying betrivers pop ups ads before you actually get the game to stream, but it doesn't cost anything.

Poor streaming quality and annoying ads sounds like a cost to me.

Can't remember who suggested it but: TheTVApp.TO is great quality. Watched the appleTV game friday and Lions game saturday and the stream was flawless. No pop ups or anything.

Usually once you get it going it's okay.  The ads are just at the beginning.

Horrible streaming.   Let the stream play for about 4 or 5 minutes and the audio and video are completely out of synch and you have to exit and go back in.   Plus where there is no ad to fill the time they have this title card with sports sound effects that just keeps playing.   Um, why not 30 second or 60 second or 15 second highlights?
