Main Street Sports Group Sues Comcast, Charter Over Unpaid Fees
The regional sports network operator is seeking unpaid carriage fees.
Main Street Sports Group has filed lawsuits against Charter Communications and Comcast, accusing the two largest U.S. cable distributors of underpaying contracted carriage fees. The FanDuel Sports Network parent company is seeking to recoup distribution revenue to help pay outstanding rights fees to teams. Main Street Sports claims the two carriers terminated their distribution pacts prematurely, denying the company its right to receive final live games of the 2025-26 NHL and NBA playoffs.
While the financial details are not disclosed, the company states that the unpaid carriage fees are significant. Both Charter and Comcast have declined to comment, with industry sources suggesting they are likely to contest the allegations. Main Street Sports, once a major operator of regional sports networks, is now in a wind-down process as it faces the challenges of cord-cutting and rising rights fees.
