Bally Sports owner files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy

breaking now at 11 o'clock. The company that owns Bali Sports, Ohio and airs Reds games here in the Cincinnati area has filed for bankrupt. Seed no shocker. We've been talking about this for weeks, but Diamond Sports makes it official. An independent subsidiary of the Sinclair broadcast group saying it is restructuring more than $8 billion in debt. It's unclear if this filing will affect the way games are broadcast. Here in our area, the commissioner in Major League Baseball has set all along.

Bear with him. He'll figure something out and everybody will get to see the Reds games, but we'll see what happens. By the way, we have reporters on the road.
