The Braves are back on Xfinity/Comcast. For an increased price.
What do you think about that?
After a three-month dispute left Braves games on Bally’s Sports off Comcast cable systems, the two sides reached an agreement last week. Braves games returned Thursday when the dispute between Diamond Sports Group, the owners of Bally’s regional sports networks, and Comcast was settled. Comcast customers had been unable to watch the Braves since May 1.
When Comcast viewers turned to Bally’s Sports for the first game, the Braves vs. Marlins on Thursday, they were greeted with a message that they would have to upgrade to Comcast’s Xfinity Ultimate TV package. Viewers must pay up to an additional $45 for a package that includes Bally’s Sports and Bally’s Sports Southeast. There is no additional cost for those already on the Ultimate package.
Let us know what you think of all this. Just glad to have the Braves back? An example of corporate greed? Did you switch providers?

Thank you very much.
