NEW
YORK, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MSG
Networks released the following statement about their dispute with
Altice USA:
"Altice USA has pulled their last proposal and walked
away from negotiations to bring MSG Networks back to its Optimum
subscribers. They also just dropped WPIX Channel 11 in New York and other local stations around the
country. If you have been waiting, like we have, for them to do
right by their customers – don't wait any longer. Now is the time
to switch to Verizon Fios who has a special offer for Optimum
subscribers. Meanwhile, Optimum has been charging their over 1
million customers for local sports programming they have not been
receiving and EVERY subscriber should be credited at least
$10 a month.
Verizon Fios is ready to take your
business. If you are not in Verizon Fios area, you can get games
through these other providers DirecTV, DirecTV Stream, Fubo and The
Gotham Sports App. For more options on how to switch providers,
