Sinclair Says Bally App Feedback is Positive, Gamification Coming

In its quarterly earnings call, Sinclair Broadcasting spoke to the recent launch of its Bally Sports App. On April 26, the app replaced the existing Fox Sports Go app. In addition to the news that Sinclair is working on a direct-to-consumer Bally Sports streaming app for customers, Sinclair said gamification would be coming to its existing app.

Sports betting has been a massive trend in the streaming industry as more states legalize the option. Sling TV has partnered with DraftKings, while fuboTV has its own sports betting operation on the way. Sinclair is joining that trend as they look to add gaming functions to the Bally app.

Sinclair also said feedback to the existing Bally Sports App has been positive, which must mean the company hasn’t looked on Twitter, where the tone is, well, the opposite of that.

At first I thought it was me…

but after the skipping video,
logging in at least 4 times,
constant ads watching replays,
and homescreen pic showing the score of game I was about to watch on replay…
NOPE. It’s the 🚮 bally sports app. FSGO wasn’t great, but better than this.🤦‍♂️
