When Disney acquired 21st Century FOX in March of 2019, the United States Justice Department mandated that Disney sell the FOX portfolio of regional sports networks as a condition of approving the acquisition. Disney then sold the FOX RSNs to Sinclair Broadcasting who rebranded the FOX networks as Ballys.

Clearing up confusion about Bally Sports Wisconsin
Some blogs I’ve read online have told would be Bally Sports Wisconsin viewers that they can “save money” by watching either the Brewers or Bucks on MLB.TV or NBA League Pass.
This is not true for most markets that would expected to be Bucks or Brewers fans. Bally Sports Wisconsin, like all RSNs, is an in-market offering, which means that only fans in the regional TV viewing area that the channel broadcasts to will have access. If you try to watch the Brewers or Bucks inside this region, MLB.TV and NBA League Pass, both of which are out-of-market offerings, will be blacked out.
The only way this strategy can work is if you are out-of-market for Bally Sports Wisconsin. According to Wikipedia, the Bally Sports Wisconsin territory is: Wisconsin, Eastern Minnesota, Western UP, and Northwestern Illinois and Iowa.
