Gotham Advanced Media and Entertainment, the joint venture between MSG Networks and the YES Network, is launching a new app in the fall that will air local games for seven New York area teams.
CNBC reports the package announced Wednesday is believed to be the first time that two regional sports networks have combined their apps into a bundled option.
The Gotham Sports app will launch ahead of the NBA and NHL seasons. Locals will be able to watch the New York Knicks, New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, Brooklyn Nets and New York Yankees with a subscription.
The Gotham Package that gives access to all of those teams will cost $359.99 annually and $41.99 monthly, almost identical to the monthly price of Fox, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery’s joint Venu streaming service that was blocked with a temporary injunction earlier this month.
Customers who watch only some of those teams can also purchase access to just MSG+ or the YES App services for $29.99 and $24.99 monthly, respectively. If they already have MSG Networks and YES Network via their pay-TV subscription, they will get Gotham Sports App’s services for no extra fee.
“With the increased fragmentation of outlets carrying fan favorite sports programming, The Gotham Sports App allows fans of our teams one easy access point for New York area sporting events from MSG Networks and the YES Network,” MSG Networks President and CEO Andrea Greenberg said in a press release.
Notably, SportsNet New York — the regional sports network that airs the New York Mets — is not included in this joint venture. It is only available via FuboTV, DirecTV stream and online login for people who pay for cable.
