The 12 minutes of mayhem where Man City threw the title race away
Man City’s title race takes a hit after a 12-minute collapse, with Arsenal now in the lead.
Main Street Sports Group is nearing its official end following the NHL playoffs, marking the conclusion of its major live events. The company has lost its contracts with NBA and MLB teams earlier this year, leading to uncertainty about its future.
The formal end is now likely imminent for Main Street Sports Group, the embattled regional sports network operator, with the conclusion of the first-round of the NHL playoffs.
That opening round of the hockey postseason marked the last major live events scheduled on any of the FanDuel Sports Network outlets. The company’s contractual rights with its 13 NBA teams previously concluded with the end of the regular season, and all nine of its former MLB clubs departed in February.
“We don’t know where we’re headed next year, we have no idea, and I speak for everyone here when I say that we hope as many of us as possible are a part of bringing Wild hockey your way again next season, and I hope somehow, some way you’ll find us wherever we are for next season,” Wild play-by-play announcer Anthony LaPlanta said as he signed off FanDuel Sports Network coverage at the end of the team’s first-round series against the Stars.
With transition to the second round of the NHL playoffs, the splintering is now in full flight for the teams that were previously tied to Main Street Sports, as well as the company itself.
The varied developments include:
“Together, we can play a pivotal role in the U.S. sports market, supporting a growing roster of teams, leagues, and competitions,” DAZN Group CEO Shay Segev said of the ViewLift deal.
