On February 22, MSG Networks and Optimum announced the resolution of their carriage dispute, allowing MSG to return to Optimum's offerings. The deal reportedly lasts over a year and enables Optimum to provide lower-priced TV packages excluding MSG. This conflict arose partly due to MSG's financial struggles and their wish to maintain or increase charges amidst competition from streaming services. Both parties had exchanged accusations regarding pricing while MSG insisted it is open to negotiations, aiming to restore their content and satisfy customers' viewing needs.
Optimum argued that the emergence of streaming services has transformed the relationship between content owners and traditional providers, impacting negotiations with MSG Networks.
Despite the carriage dispute, MSG Networks representatives indicated their readiness to negotiate in good faith to resolve the situation and re-establish programming.
