Sinclair Broadcast Group to Purchase YES Network

ROH’s parent company Sinclair Broadcast Group reportedly has recently formed an official partnership with the New York Yankees and Amazon, according to Deadline.

Deadline reported that this partnership will be purchasing the YES Network for $3.5 billion from current majority owner 21st Century FOX. It was also reported that an official announcement confirming the purchase is expected to be made very soon.

It is currently speculated that Sinclair will likely feature ROH television on the network and in the process, add both the New York and surrounding regions to ROH’s current national television presence.
