Yeah the Comcast holdout on the ACC Network is bad but I would put that more on Comcast than the ACC Network. Most providers have been able to come to an agreement with the ACC Network but Comcast is refusing to accept their terms.Even with cord cutting, I think Comcast is currently the biggest hole in their distribution. At least Comcast carries Bally....
On the otherside, since Sinclair purchased the regional sports networks in lat August 2019, they have been constantly dropped by providers (especially streaming providers) when it came time to negotiate new contracts. In fact, DirectTV is the only streaming service to maintain the regional sports packages and that contract was signed in October 2019 less than 2 months after Sinclair took over. My guess is DirectTV (AT&T) was already in negotiations with Fox Sports and Sinclair honored at least portions of those negotiations that they have not offered to anyone else.
