Yesterday, news surfaced that the Stars are leaving Bally Sports, which certainly caused some fans to rejoice in their living rooms. A number of hockey fans have been left in the dark due to Bally Sports’ business approach in the past few seasons. It has been easy for the rest of the fanbase to see the Stars play. The Stars are rushing to have something that fans all throughout the US can easily access, so it looks like that may change next season.
Given the Texas Rangers’ plans to part ways with Bally Sports following the current season, this split appeared inevitable. These days, it seems like everyone is watching TV online via a streaming service. The Stars join a pair of NHL teams that have recently severed ties with Bally Sports. It was initially done by the Florida Panthers. At this time, this might indicate a number of directions for the Stars. The Stars could consider these possibilities in light of yesterday’s announcement.
A TV agreement and a streaming package for non-cable supporters are being considered by the Stars, according to Sportico. Last season, the Las Vegas Golden Knights implemented this with KnightTime+, and its supporters were raving about the streaming option. In a similar vein, the Stars will likely design a system that does not include games that air on national television networks like ESPN, TNT, or NBC. Although this may work for those who aren’t very tech-savvy, I think it’s important to remember that things have changed since the days of the analogue box. All the time, people are glued to their phones, tablets, and laptops.
Blackout Dallas will keep you posted as soon as we learn more about the plans for next season’s Dallas Stars hockey access, but for now, that’s all we know. To make next season’s hockey games more exciting, I’m hoping the Stars re-sign all the fans’ favourite players. Dallas sports fans, get ready for some changes to how you watch games in the DFW Metroplex. With all the problems Bally Sports has caused, it’s for the best that things have changed, but it will be fascinating to watch how much people appreciate the new manner.
