Diamond Sports Group, the largest owner of regional sports networks, can emerge out of bankruptcy after having its reorganization plan approved.

A U.S. court approved Diamond Sports Group's reorganization plan. What does this mean for Nashville Predators fans watching on FanDuel Sports Network?

A bankruptcy judge approved a reorganization plan to eliminate some $8 billion in debt after the regional-sports programmer revamped broadcast deals with dozens of professional teams.

A judge approved the company’s plan, which includes a streaming deal that will allow fans in certain markets to circumvent a cable package.

The broadcaster will now be able to emerge from bankruptcy with a reduced portfolio of 13 NBA teams, eight NHL teams and six MLB teams.

Diamond Sports Group will emerge out of bankruptcy with significantly less debt, but also fewer teams and networks.
