Comcast Expects to Lose 15 Bally Sports Channels in Fee Dispute

Comcast Corp. said it expects its cable-TV customers to lose access to 15 Bally regional sports networks at midnight in a fee dispute with Diamond Sports Group.

“We’d like to continue carrying their networks, but they have declined multiple offers and now we no longer have the rights to this programming,” Comcast said in a statement Tuesday evening.

The Philadelphia-based cable-TV giant said customers would automatically receive $8 to 10 per month in credits for the channels if they are no longer available.
