We\u2019re pleased to finish out the NBA and NHL seasons, and we appreciate the collaborative relationships we have enjoyed with our team and league partners as well as the connections we have fostered with local fans,\u201d a spokesperson said in a statement to Channel 2 Action News.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The Atlanta Hawks declined to comment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Main Street Sports Group ending brings the era of regional sports networks to an end. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The company purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsbtv.com\/news\/local\/reports-bally-sports-dropping-all-mlb-teams-except-braves\/VFQDIGTFDJHIFP3PN4FHNK2UMI\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wsbtv.com\/news\/local\/reports-bally-sports-dropping-all-mlb-teams-except-braves\/VFQDIGTFDJHIFP3PN4FHNK2UMI\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bally Sports Network<\/a> when its owners filed for bankruptcy in 2024. It rebranded it as FanDuel Sports Network and continued to broadcast games for the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta Hawks and other teams across the Southeast. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">But financial troubles ensued. Layoffs have been announced. And the Braves along with other teams canceled their deals in January. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">The Braves eventually launched their own network, BravesVision, and have partnered with several cable providers and the Braves.TV stream via MLB.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">It\u2019s unclear if the Hawks are exploring a similar option. They will have time though to come up with a plan until 2026-27 regular season in October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">RELATED STORIES:<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">[SIGN UP: <a href=\"https:\/\/membercenter.wsbtv.com\/newsletters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ATLANTA \u2014 The Atlanta Hawks will be looking for a new broadcast home next season.
