FanDuel, Diamond close to RSN naming rights deal

FanDuel is “close to an agreement to put its brand on 18 regional pay-TV networks” owned by Diamond Sports Group as part of a multiyear deal between the companies that would “involve FanDuel-related programming for the channels.” Sources said that FanDuel “would resell Diamond’s streaming service to fans and take an equity stake in the company.” For Diamond, FanDuel is “potentially a key partner as the business looks to exit from bankruptcy court protection.” Diamond's current agreement with Bally’s Corp. is set to expire at the end of this baseball season ( BLOOMBERG NEWS, 6/3 ).
