NEW YORK–( BUSINESS WIRE )–The following are key points regarding the consumer-friendly options available to consumers:
At Optimum, we have a clear mission: to provide the system our customers want and deliver it to them at an affordable price. The problem: MSG Networks (NYSE: ) insisted that customers who don't watch its “most” content must pay for it and demanded that all customers pay more in fees to carry its content.
Now more than ever, especially in this economy, it's not fair for MSG Networks to require viewers to pay and demand high license fees, especially when there are ways for fans to get shows directly from MSG with their Gotham direct to consumer. Sports utility.
While we all wait for MSG to stop settling and give fans a much needed financial break, Optimum is working on ways to get everyone to see the games. We have a wide toolkit of options to take care of our customers to ensure they get what they need based on their unique circumstances.
For fans, this includes providing assistance and paying Gotham Sports and other services to keep them watching their favorite teams.
And for hundreds of thousands of non-sports fans, we've got new affordable and consumer-friendly video. packages to find the content they want and need.

Optimum has offered to absorb MSG Networks' negative pricing claims that we can package its content in a way that will give more flexibility and control to our customers, so that fans can continue to watch and pay for their content while non-viewers are not forced. paying for something they are not looking for. MSG Networks said no and rejected multiple offers from us to reach a deal.
It's no secret that sports viewing has become increasingly fragmented across multiple platforms and streaming services. Yet MSG Networks continues to squeeze more money out of its viewers to watch their content, refusing to change or deviate from a broken model that is outdated based on the changing entertainment industry, anti-consumer, and unsustainable in today's programming environment.
Optimum seeks to partner with programmers who put customer choice and flexibility at the center of every decision.
