Anyone know the deal with Bally Sports and the Reds broadcast? Two games in a row I’m getting a blackout message on DirecTv.
DirecTv and Reds broadcasts

Pregame/Postgame shows have been blacked out on DirecTV for me but the games have been shown but that is no excuse to be blacking them out. Diamond Sports Group made their payment to the Reds on the 15th to keep TV rights and all of a sudden on the 16h having issues. Seen others with Directv on twitter experiencing the same issue.
Its weird. Last night all was blacked out for me. Tonight I’m getting the game like you said but not the pre/post game show.
Got a typical beat around the bush response for Directv to my complaint about this issue. Rather than fix the issue, they would rather make excuses. Would love to know if other TV providers have experienced this recently and know if it is Bally Sports in general or just DirecTV dropping the ball here. I suspect the latter since the payment to keep their rights was made on time unlike in May, Diamond Sports Group payment to the Reds was late but kept everything on air. For years DirecTV was my only option for the Reds but may going through with cutting the cord for good if we lose them.
