Bally lost the rights to Brewers games, hopefully the Bucks are the next to be freed

I’ve prayed for times like this.
What does this mean in practice? Will I be able to buy brewers games at a reasonable price? Can I pay for what I use?
From some insiders that have been talking about the media rights deals. They are obviously not in the know but understand the logistics and what makes sense moneywise. Baseball, they are just giving up most teams other than Yankees (YES network) Braves and possibly Cubs and Dodgers will get their media rights given to them for next to nothing. Basketball is not. They will hold until after this season when NBC takes over for Turner. The guess is there will be a premium league pass on one of the major streamers for NBA. It probably won’t be in place for 2 more years, though. The major hold up will be the Knicks, Clippers and Lakers, which all have separate media rights that won’t be included in the league pass. And odds are it will be more than 50 bucks a month. MLS on apple is 25 a month, and with the increase for Sunday ticket. They will absolutely make the price point higher than it should be.
