MSG Network is a regional cable and satellite TV network that produces sports programming for the New York Knicks and Rangers.

MSG Networks, the regional channel that airs local games for New York teams including the Knicks, went dark for Altice USA’s Optimum cable TV customers.

Neither side is willing to budge over the carriage fees paid by Optimum parent Altice to broadcast MSG Networks, which is run by Knicks and Rangers owner James Dolan.

Basketball and hockey fans in the New York City metropolitan area can't watch certain games on Optimum TV. This article, Altice USA’s Optimum drops MSG Networks on New Year’s Day, was first published at The Desk.
