Gotham Advanced Media and Entertainment, a joint venture between MSG Networks and YES Network, is launching the Gotham Sports app. For $359.99 annually or $41.99 monthly, subscribers can access games from seven New York area teams including the Knicks, Rangers, Yankees, and Nets. Not all teams are included, like the Mets and Red Sox.

Regional sports networks have evolved dramatically. The Gotham Sports app aims to streamline access to New York teams’ games. Amid changes in local game broadcasting, other teams have explored new avenues like stand-alone streaming services. Diamond Sports Group’s bankruptcy in March 2023 shifted the landscape, prompting reevaluations of how professional teams broadcast their games.

The Gotham Sports App offers New York residents a convenient way to access local game broadcasts. Regional sports networks like MSG Networks and YES Network have offered their own streaming services. The MLB teams have also explored alternative broadcasting options following Diamond Sports Group’s bankruptcy. The NBA, WNBA, and NHL teams have adapted their broadcasting practices due to changing industry dynamics.
