ORIGINAL: TJSweens Nobody cares. Why are you posting this in every forum? Because it affects all 4 major team sports in the state. They spent all that time, energy and money changing from Fox Sports to Bally Sports, and made such a big deal about it. There will likely be another big deal made when they change it to The Horseshoe Sports Network North. Different Bally's... The Bally Sports Regional Networks are a group of regional sports networks in the United States owned by Diamond Sports Group, a joint-venture company of the Sinclair Broadcast Group and Entertainment Studios. The naming rights to the network were sold to casino operator Bally's Corporation. The networks were formerly known as Fox Sports Networks and operated by News Corporation for most of their existence. They were acquired by Diamond Sports from The Walt Disney Company in 2019, as Disney was required to divest them by the U.S. Department of Justice as a condition of their own acquisition of 21st Century Fox. Bally's Las Vegas is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment, not Bally's Corporation. I get that. But the name Bally's no longer has any meaning for the TV station or casino now. Therefore it will be changed. Bet you $50. So you think Bally's is going to rebrand their entire sports network to match a casino they don't even own? If Bally's doesn't have sports gambling or casinos anymore, why would the TV station continue using the name? THAT WAS THE ENTIRE POINT OF CHANGING THE NAME TO BALLY SPORTS!!...TO TIE INTO THE CASINO AND SPORTS GAMBLING BRAND!! THAT BRANDING SCHEME WILL NO LONGER EXIST!!!! You're going to keep digging this hole, huh? Bally's Corporation operates fourteen casino properties and a horse track: Bally's Arapahoe Park — Aurora, Colorado Bally's Atlantic City — Atlantic City, New Jersey Bally's Black Hawk — Black Hawk, Colorado Bally's Dover — Dover, Delaware Bally's Evansville — Evansville, Indiana Bally's Kansas City — Kansas City, Missouri Bally's Lake Tahoe — Stateline, Nevada Bally's Quad Cities — Rock Island, Illinois Bally's Shreveport — Shreveport, Louisiana Bally's Tiverton — Tiverton, Rhode Island Bally's Twin River Lincoln — Lincoln, Rhode Island Bally's Vicksburg — Vicksburg, Mississippi Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi — Biloxi, Mississippi Note: Bally's Las Vegas is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment, not Bally's Corporation. So in your head, it makes sense for them to rebrand their sports network to match the one "Bally's" property they have nothing to do with, and not keep it the same name as the dozen+ that they do own and are named "Bally's"?
