So Fox sports SOuth is now Bally Sports SOuth. Same logo as far as i can tell as the Bally's of the corrupt las Vegas casino mega conglomorate

Also, I was watching the Braves the other night and there's a new bar/food area above center field that's called the "Cherokee Casino's" something or other

What is happening?

(disclaimer: due to clown world, i don't follow any news anymore. so maybe this is obvious)

Sinclair broadcasting bought the regional sports networks when Disney bought the rest of 20th century fox. Disney couldn't own them and ESPN. Sinclair partnership with Bally so they could afford to run them.

I thought Bally was a chain of health clubs geared toward women back in the 90s. That curly looking B is the same logo.

Interesting.

So, you don’t think this is major signal that legalized gambling is coming to (parts of) Georgia?

I hear New Orleans is close to adding a sports book

Entirely possible. This may 100% be a wild goose chase

Or

It could explain EVERYTHING

Not sure about what you're asking, but I do want to complain about youtube tv and hulu live not carrying Bally.

It’s more observation than asking

Your complaint is directly plugged into this observance though , if my instincts are tuned toward the right signal

I just noticed Bally in the name a few days back. On my cable system the channels are all in the same place with the Bally name attached rather than Fox. I have not checked yet to see if Bally Sports has an app for a smart phone or tablet. The Fox Sport app kinda sucked, imo.

It’s not just in GA, all Fox regional networks were taken in by Bally (I think FS1 and FS2 are still a part of Fox but the rest have changed, I believe).

That being said this is definitely an infusion of gambling centric programming where there wasn’t any prior. Could have a secondary regional effect

They just updated the Fox sports go app today and replaced it with Bally. Same app for the most part, just replaced everything with Bally

Cliff notes:

Next November, Georgians will vote on whether to legalize certain forms of gambling in our state

-and suddenly!
-shocker
-every other commercial on Casino Network is advertising how gambling in MS, NC etc is wholesome and fun for the entire Family

I hear here the double-down trifecta hotdog at cherokees casino cafe in Truist is out of this world too!

-one other thing. How do people not see this type of stuff?
