Optimum and MSG Networks are locked in a battle over programming fees, potentially jeopardizing access to Knicks, Devils, and Rangers games for Optimum TV subscribers.
Optimum , the sister company of News 12, and MSG Networks are in a dispute about fees to keep the Knicks, Devils, and Rangers games on your TV. Optimum says MSG Networks is demanding higher rates that will be passed on to viewers and is threatening to pull its signal if it doesn't get the increase. Optimum tells News 12 it is currently in negotiations to keep MSG in its TV lineup but says MSG is 'demanding exorbitant programming fees.
' Optimum is encouraging customers to call to hear what options are available to continue watching MSG Networks content in the event of an interruption. MSG Networks is demanding exorbitant programming fees – which could raise our customers’ cable bills – and, to add insult to injury, MSG Networks is requiring us to make their channels available to the vast majority of Optimum video subscribers, which would force customers to pay for content they may not want to watch. We refuse to allow any entity to force our customers to pay more than they can afford. And with direct-to-consumer options like MSG+ available on the Gotham Sports app, customers who want to watch it have alternatives so that non-viewers don’t have to pay for content they don’t want. Our mission is to give our customers the programming that they want for a price they can afford. That’s why Optimum is working day and night to reach a new agreement with MSG Networks to continue carrying their content on Optimum TV lineups that works for our customers and their budget
