Timberwolves Extend Deal with Bally Sports North for 2024-25 Season
Big news for Minnesota Timberwolves fans: your favorite team will continue to grace your screens via Bally Sports North for the upcoming 2024-25 NBA season. This development comes as Diamond Sports Group, the company behind the Bally Sports networks, has secured a new agreement with both the NHL and NBA, ensuring that their games will be broadcasted for at least another year.
For those not up to date, Diamond Sports Group, which operates the Bally Sports regional networks, has been navigating some choppy waters lately. The company filed for bankruptcy back in March 2023, a situation that has kept fans and analysts alike on edge. Despite this challenging backdrop, Diamond has managed to strike a deal that keeps the Timberwolves, as well as 12 other NBA teams, on the air.

Unfortunately, Diamond did have to part ways with a couple of NBA teams during this process. The Dallas Mavericks and the New Orleans Pelicans are no longer part of their broadcast lineup. However, the Timberwolves remain in the fold, alongside other teams like the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, and Cleveland Cavaliers, to name a few.
The Minnesota Wild, the NHL team from across the river, will also continue to be featured on Bally Sports. This is part of a broader arrangement that covers nine NHL teams, ensuring that fans will still be able to catch the action of their favorite ice hockey teams.
The battle for Bally Sports has been tumultuous, particularly regarding a dispute with Comcast. For months, baseball fans faced frustration as Bally Sports channels were inaccessible on Comcast systems. Thankfully, a recent agreement between the two companies has restored these channels to Comcast customers, but whether this will be enough to help Diamond Sports emerge from bankruptcy remains uncertain. The company is currently working through bankruptcy court, with hearings that have been delayed but are crucial to determining its future.
In summary, while Diamond Sports Group continues to face significant challenges, the recent deal ensures that fans of the Timberwolves and other teams will not miss out on their games for the 2024-25 season. Stay tuned for more updates as Diamond's situation unfolds and keep enjoying the exciting action of your favorite teams, both on the court and the ice.
