    Braves Games Pulled from Comcast Cable

    At least for the time being, Comcast customers will have to find a different way to watch the Atlanta Braves, because they won't be able to see them on Bally Sports.

    As of midnight, the agreement between Comcast and Diamond Sports Group, which owns many of the Bally Sports Regional Networks, expired. Diamond Sports Group, which carries the Braves and Hawks on Bally Sports South and Bally Sports Southeast, removed its signal from Comcast cable.

    When Comcast customers tune in for today's final game against the Seattle Mariners at 3:40 p.m. on Wednesday, instead of baseball, they will see the following message.

    “The owner of Bally Sports is in bankruptcy proceedings, and we have offered them multiple options to continue to carry their networks. They have declined each one, and we no longer have the rights to continue carrying their content. As a result, we’ll be issuing proactive monthly credits to customers for the loss of this network.”

    Comcast said it will start issuing credits to customers.

    Bally Sports is available throughout the southeast including Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and central and western North Carolina, however it isn't the only area being effected by the dispute. The networks also removed its signal in the Detroit, Miami and Minneapolis markets.

    Fans in Atlanta can still receive the Bally Sports networks on DirecTV, DirecTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse, Cox, FuboTV, and Spectrum.
