Summary
Altice USA's Optimum cable TV customers lost access to MSG Networks, including local games for New York-area teams, due to a carriage dispute over fees. The blackout comes as the New York Knicks are on an eight-game winning streak. Regional sports networks are struggling as customers switch to streaming options, and high fees are a point of contention in negotiations between operators and networks.
