SAN DIEGO – Cincinnati Reds games, at least for the foreseeable future, will continue to be televised on Bally Sports Ohio.
Diamond Sports Group, the parent company of Bally Sports Ohio, made a rights fee payment to the Reds in its 15-day grace period this week after previously missing an April 17 deadline. Major League Baseball was expected to obtain the rights to air Reds games if Diamond did not make the late payment.
“We’re pleased Diamond is complying with our contractual agreement,” said Karen Forgus, the Reds’ vice president of business operations.
It’s unclear how much money the Reds received from Diamond’s recent payment and the club didn’t comment on when the next payment is due, though it's believed to be quarterly payments.
