The regional sports network has told teams in four different states that it does not have the cash to pay for upcoming rights fees.
AT&T SportsNet has given teams a March 31 deadline to negotiate agreements to take over their broadcast rights moving forward, or else risk losing control of those rights in AT&T SportsNet’s potential Chapter 7 bankruptcy.In the short term, the plan is for AT&T SportsNet to continue to exist as a broadcasting entity for at least the next two months. That would get the Jazz through the regular season without a channel disruption.
But AT&T SportsNet’s departure from the regional sports network industry means that the Jazz will need to find another solution to broadcast their games next season. As recently as December, AT&T SportsNet was still being considered in the Jazz’s negotiations for their next TV deal and had an offer out to the team to extend their contract further. Now, though, that won’t be an option for the Jazz.
