Seth "Football Collector"<p>Apparently, Bally Sports owner, Diamond Sports, isn’t the only RSN having issues making rights payments to their clubs. Three WBD-owned RSN’s under the AT&amp;T SportsNet moniker paid a little of their rights fees, but not the agreed upon amount, according to sources. It’s possibly a mistake as WBD execs seemed unaware of the issue. It’s worth noting that WBD acquired these RSN’s in the merger that closed only a few months ago.</p><p><a href="https://mysportgallery.com/tags/MLB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MLB</span></a> :mlb: <a href="https://mysportgallery.com/tags/WBD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WBD</span></a> <a href="https://mysportgallery.com/tags/MediaRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MediaRights</span></a></p>
