Some followers of the Cavaliers and different NBA groups are just a little bit confused by video games being broadcast on FanDuel Sports activities Community this season. However it’s actually only a title/sponsorship change.
In different phrases, the previous Bally Sports activities is out because the title for NBA regional networks. FanDuel is in. Nothing else has modified.
These regional networks, owned by Diamond Sports activities, are believed to be in bother financially and maybe getting into the final season underneath this umbrella.
Many consider the Cavs are headed to the Dan Gilbert-owned Rock Leisure Sports activities Community. That channel is at present solely accessible on entry cable techniques, however is displaying highschool soccer video games and Cleveland Cost video games, in addition to minor league hockey and different sports activities. Subsequent season, it very properly might broadcast Cavs video games, making a transfer to a full-fledged cable system and streaming service.
That’s the speculation, anyway.
However again to FanDuel Sports activities TV. For those who had the Bally’s app to look at the Cavs, it’ll now learn “FanDuel.” Once more, that’s the lone change.

The in-game broadcast workforce will once more embody play-by-play man John Michael, getting into his sixth season. Former Cavs middle Brad Daugherty would be the analyst for almost all of video games. Carr will be a part of for others. He’s in his twenty seventh 12 months on Cavs broadcasts. Additionally, Serena Winters is again for her fourth 12 months as sideline reporter.
Probably the most notable change is former Cavs ahead Campy Russell and Fox Sports activities/Bally Sports activities analyst transferring off the studio present.
As an apart, I’ll even have a Cavs-themed present coming to FanDuel Sports activities TV this season. Booby Gibson will be a part of — and I’m certain his presence will excite individuals greater than mine. Anyway, I’ll have full particulars on that in an upcoming publish.
