Hey, guess what Amazon’s up to now? They’re really into the whole streaming scene, and you won’t believe where they’re putting their money—live sports! Word on the street is they’re in talks to invest in Diamond Sports Group, the big shots handling regional sports.
Diamond Sports Group covers games for a whopping 40 major sports teams in the U.S., including a bunch from MLB, NBA, and NHL. But here’s the twist—they hit a rough patch and filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. It’s a sign of the tough times for regional sports networks with all the cord-cutting and media changes happening.
Now, picture this: if Amazon seals the deal, you might soon be watching those intense regional games on Amazon Prime Video. Yep, your go-to for shows and movies might just become your sports hub too. Amazon seems dead set on being your one-stop entertainment shop, and this time, they’re aiming for the jackpot in live sports. Let’s see if this deal gets the green light, bringing even more sports action to Amazon Prime Video.
