Amazon Invests in Bally Sports RSN & Will Become The New Streaming Provider For Bally Sports Direct-to-Consumer Streaming

Good snippet from the article:
“This deal with Amazon will let Americans buy live access to MLB, NBA, and NHL games through Amazon’s Prime Video channels. This offer is only good for customers who live inside the markets these teams play with.”
I just wanted Bally to die.
Essentially, this just replaces the absolutely horrible Bally app with an option to watch via Prime Video right? Instead of paying a separate subscription for the Bally App, you can now do it through Prime. I wonder if you’ll still be able to access it through Prime if you have a cable subscription that includes BSMW.
Of course, after this season, it may all be a moot point if the Blues leave Bally (let’s all hope).
So how does this affect the existing deals to return NHL and NBA rights after their current seasons end?
Like someone pointed out earlier, do what Apple TV does for mls. Make it a seperate option where you pay for access to the entire NHL. No blackouts.
I’m tentatively excited, it depends on the price that Amazon is asking for NHL games.
