Knicks and Rangers owner James Dolan will launch a direct-to-consumer service this season that lets fans watch the teams without a cable subscription, The Post has learned.
“We are progressing in the design and development of our direct-to-consumer offering, and remain on track to launch in the second half of the current NBA and NHL seasons,” MSG Network President and CEO Andrea Greenberg told The Post. “So while the media landscape is certainly evolving, we continue to believe in the value of our premium content and our ability to innovate, to drive value for partners, advertisers and viewers alike.
A Morgan Stanley analyst report this week predicted that MSG Network’s number of subscribers would decline from 4.5 million presently to 3.7 million in 2025 as cord-cutting continues. Some of the local cable companies may fight back on price increases if MSG is offering a competing product, sources said.
