Sinclair Broadcast Group purchased 21 regional sports networks from Walt Disney Co. in 2019 for $9.6 billion, hoping to build a larger sports conglomerate and develop a digital streaming service. However, Sinclair failed to anticipate the impact of cord cutting and the rise of streaming platforms, which led to a decline in cable-TV subscribers and eroded profits. The company's plan to obtain direct-to-consumer rights and gambling rights from sports teams also faced challenges. As a result, Sinclair's subsidiary, Diamond Sports Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023. Recently, Diamond reached a restructuring deal with Amazon.com Inc., making Prime Video its primary streaming platform, but the deal is still pending court approval. [Extracted from the article]
