## History

### Beginnings

YES is the product of a [holding company](/source/Holding_company) founded in 1999 called [YankeeNets](/source/YankeeNets), created out of a merger of the business operations of the Yankees and the New Jersey Nets. One of the reasons behind the operational merger was to allow both teams to gain better leverage over their own broadcast rights; each party believed that it would obtain better individual deals, if they negotiated the rights collectively.

Two years earlier in 1997, [Cablevision](/source/Cablevision) – which at the time had owned the Nets' television broadcaster, SportsChannel New York (later known as Fox Sports Net New York, and now known as [MSG Sportsnet](/source/MSG_Sportsnet)) – became the sole owner to the television rights of all seven Major League Baseball, NBA and [NHL](/source/National_Hockey_League) teams in the New York City [market](/source/Media_market) when it acquired the competing [MSG Network](/source/MSG_(TV_network)) (previously owned by [Viacom](/source/Viacom_(1952%E2%80%932005)) through its 1994 purchase of the network's former parent [Paramount Communications](/source/Gulf_and_Western_Industries)), which had held the broadcast rights to the Yankees since 1989. This led to [monopoly](/source/Monopoly)-like tactics, including the shift of some games to the cable-exclusive [MSG Metro Channels](/source/MSG_Metro_Channels), which had very limited distribution as Cablevision, [Comcast](/source/Comcast) and [Time Warner Cable](/source/Time_Warner_Cable) routinely fought over carriage agreements. Cablevision attempted to buy the Yankees outright, but could not agree to acceptable terms with [George Steinbrenner](/source/George_Steinbrenner) and his partners.

To exit its MSG/Cablevision deal, the Yankees would have to give them the right to match any new right agreement and show a judge that a third party was willing to purchase their rights and launch a channel. Thus, new YankeeNets CEO [Harvey Schiller](/source/Harvey_Schiller) hired [IMG](/source/IMG_(company)) to provide a valuation for the prospective YankeeNets sport channel. IMG came back with an offer to partner on the channel with a guaranteed rights fees of $838 million.[5] In 2000, YankeeNets and IMG proposed forming a sports channel valued as high as $2.4 billion. Cablevision sued considering its valuing as "outlandish" to block the channel. In April 2001, the suit was settled such that in June 2001, YankeeNets paid MSG to take the Yankees' TV rights in-house. IMG had been replaced by other investors, [Goldman, Sachs & Company](/source/Goldman_Sachs), the [Quadrangle Group](/source/Quadrangle_Group), [Leo Hindery Jr.](/source/Leo_Hindery_Jr.), chief executive of the network, and Amos Hostetter Jr., a billionaire cable veteran, who in total had a 40% share of the channel.[6]

### Launch of a new network

[Michael Kay](/source/Michael_Kay_(sports_broadcaster))'s introduction on YES' first game broadcast on March 19, 2002

The YES Network launched at noon on March 19, 2002, with a half-hour introductory show. The first game broadcast on YES was an exhibition game between the [New York Yankees](/source/New_York_Yankees) and the [Cincinnati Reds](/source/Cincinnati_Reds) at 7 PM on the same day. At its launch, YES was available on DirecTV and to subscribers of all major New York area cable providers except Cablevision which would refuse to add the network for the 2002 season (see below).[7] The first regular season game broadcast on YES was played on April 1 against the [Baltimore Orioles](/source/Baltimore_Orioles).[8]

In late 2003, the Yankees and Nets decided to part ways, with the Nets being sold to a group led by [real estate](/source/Real_estate) developer [Bruce Ratner](/source/Bruce_Ratner). The sale did not include the Nets' ownership stake in YES (NJ Holdings), which remained with the pre-merger owners of the team. As part of the sale, the Nets signed a long-term deal to keep the team's game telecasts on YES. In 2004, YankeeNets was renamed Yankee Global Enterprises, which owns the Yankees and the minority share in YES as separate companies.[9] Therefore, the Yankees technically do not own YES. The Yankees, however, receive a rights fee from YES that is somewhat higher than MSG previously paid.

### Fox ownership, FSN affiliation

In 2007, Goldman Sachs' and former Nets owner Ray Chambers' share in the network was put up for sale.[10] In November 2012, [News Corporation](/source/News_Corporation) agreed to terms on acquiring a 49% stake in YES. As a consequence, each of the network's previous owners had their ownership stakes reduced. As a result of the sale to Fox, the Yankees agreed to keep their games on the network through 2041, which would be the network's 40th year of existence.[11] News Corporation's interest in YES was transferred to [21st Century Fox](/source/21st_Century_Fox) (owned by [Rupert Murdoch](/source/Rupert_Murdoch), who also remained the owner of News Corporation), when the former company [spun off](/source/Corporate_spin-off) its U.S. entertainment holdings into a separate company in July 2013.

In September 2013, rights to [Fox Sports Networks](/source/Fox_Sports_Networks)' national programming (previously held by [MSG Plus](/source/MSG_Plus), which had previously operated as FSN New York) were transferred to YES. On January 25, 2014, 21st Century Fox became the network's majority owner by purchasing an additional 31% share of YES Network from someone, increasing the company's ownership interest from 49% to 80%.[12]

In 2014, the YES Network announced an average 223,000 households in Yankees game broadcasts.[13] On May 14, 2017, YES Network aired [Derek Jeter](/source/Derek_Jeter)'s number retirement ceremony. It got an average 724,000 viewers and a 5.79 rating in the New York City area, the highest non-game program for the network.[14]

### Disney/Fox acquisition, reacquisition by the Yankees

On December 14, 2017, [the Walt Disney Company](/source/The_Walt_Disney_Company) (which owned [ABC](/source/American_Broadcasting_Company) owned-and operated station [WABC-TV](/source/WABC-TV)) announced [plans to acquire 21st Century Fox](/source/Acquisition_of_21st_Century_Fox_by_Disney) following the divestiture of certain assets.[15] While it originally included the Fox Sports Networks chain and YES Network, the [Department of Justice](/source/United_States_Department_of_Justice) ordered that they be sold on antitrust grounds due to Disney's ownership of [ESPN](/source/ESPN).[16]

*[Bloomberg News](/source/Bloomberg_News)* reported that the sale of stakes in YES to Fox contained a clause giving the Yankees rights to buy them back in the event of a change in ownership.[17] On November 11, 2018, the *[New York Post](/source/New_York_Post)* reported that the Yankees had invoked the right of first refusal to acquire YES in the event that the sale of Fox Sports Networks to was successful,[18] formally bidding 9 days later in a joint deal with [Blackstone Group](/source/Blackstone_Inc.) to get the 80% stake back.[19] The Yankees also appointed the [Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan](/source/Ontario_Teachers'_Pension_Plan), [RedBird Capital Partners](/source/RedBird_Capital_Partners), and [Mubadala Investment Company](/source/Mubadala_Investment_Company) to assist with their bid for the network.[20] [Amazon](/source/Amazon_(company)), who was expected to bid for other FSN networks, instead bid for the 80% stake that Yankees want back, desiring to provide streaming services for the network.[21][22]

On March 8, 2019, Fox News reported that the Yankees had reached a deal to re-purchase Fox's share in the network for $3.5 billion, with Sinclair (who ended up being the final suitor for Fox Sports Networks, and is also collaborating with the [Chicago Cubs](/source/Chicago_Cubs) on a [new regional network](/source/Marquee_Sports_Network)), [Amazon](/source/Amazon_(company)), and [the Blackstone Group](/source/Blackstone_Inc.) holding minority shares.[23] [Mubadala Development Company](/source/Mubadala_Investment_Company), a United Arab Emirates’ sovereign wealth fund, and [RedBird Capital Partners](/source/RedBird_Capital_Partners) were reported as minority investors. The deal closed on August 29, 2019.[24]

In April 2020 during the early onset of the [COVID-19 pandemic in New York City](/source/COVID-19_pandemic_in_New_York_City), [WCBS-TV](/source/WCBS-TV) briefly broadcast its local newscasts from the YES Network studio set due to the unavailability of the [CBS Broadcast Center](/source/CBS_Broadcast_Center).[25]

## Minor league baseball and college sports

Since the network's debut, YES has aired select telecasts of the Yankees' [minor league](/source/Minor_league_baseball) farm teams, primarily the Class-A (short season) [Staten Island Yankees](/source/Staten_Island_Yankees) of the [New York–Penn League](/source/New_York%E2%80%93Penn_League). Those games are produced by YES, utilizing the same graphics and announcers as seen during game telecasts of the major league Yankees.

From 2002 to 2006, YES also broadcast games from the Yankees' former Class-AAA team, the [Columbus Clippers](/source/Columbus_Clippers) of the [International League](/source/International_League). Those games were produced locally in [Columbus, Ohio](/source/Columbus%2C_Ohio). After the 2006 season, the Yankees ended their affiliation with the Clippers, and became affiliated with the [Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders](/source/Scranton%2FWilkes-Barre_RailRiders) (formerly the Yankees and Red Barons). Until 2024, YES had only televised one RailRiders game, Masahiro Tanaka's minor league rehab start, the team also has local coverage within its [Scranton](/source/Scranton%2C_Pennsylvania)/[Wilkes-Barre](/source/Wilkes-Barre%2C_Pennsylvania) market. However, since 2024, YES airs a limited amount of RailRiders games.[27]

Currently YES Network airs college athletic events from the [Northeast Conference](/source/Northeast_Conference).[28][29] In 2024, YES also acquired rights to [St. Bonaventure University](/source/St._Bonaventure_University) [men's](/source/St._Bonaventure_Bonnies_men's_basketball) and [women's basketball](/source/St._Bonaventure_Bonnies_women's_basketball), airing nine games split between the two squads on YES during the 2024–25 season.[30] Previously, the network has also broadcast various college sports events including football and basketball games from the [Ivy League](/source/Ivy_League), basketball games from the [Big 12 Conference](/source/Big_12_Conference) (through [ESPN Plus](/source/ESPN_Plus)) and rebroadcasts of [Notre Dame Fighting Irish football](/source/Notre_Dame_Fighting_Irish_football) games. It also carried the coaches' shows of Notre Dame and the [Penn State Nittany Lions](/source/Penn_State_Nittany_Lions). In 2011, YES aired live broadcasts of college basketball games involving the [Fordham University](/source/Fordham_University). YES also aired college football and basketball games from the [ACC on Regional Sports Networks](/source/ACC_on_Regional_Sports_Networks) produced by [Raycom Sports](/source/Raycom_Sports).

### Relationships with New York Giants and Manchester United

In 2000, YankeeNets entered into a marketing agreement with the [New York Giants](/source/New_York_Giants); this included awarding YES the exclusive rights to the [NFL](/source/National_Football_League) franchise's magazine programs (including *Giants Online* and *Giants on Deck*, which continued to air on the network after the YankeeNets breakup). The Giants' relationship with YES Network ended in 2007, at which time its team-related programming moved to [Fox](/source/Fox_Broadcasting_Company) [owned-and-operated station](/source/Owned-and-operated_station) [WNYW](/source/WNYW) (channel 5) and [MyNetworkTV](/source/MyNetworkTV) owned-and-operated station [WWOR-TV](/source/WWOR-TV) (channel 9), a [duopoly](/source/Duopoly_(broadcasting)) owned by [Fox Television Stations](/source/Fox_Television_Stations) (whose sister company, the Fox network, owns broadcast rights to most games from the Giants home conference, the [National Football Conference](/source/National_Football_Conference)).[31]

YankeeNets also maintained a similar relationship with English [football](/source/Football_(soccer)) club [Manchester United](/source/Manchester_United). YES broadcast [tape-delayed](/source/Broadcast_delay) and classic United games produced by the team-owned [Manchester United TV](/source/Manchester_United_TV) in the network's earlier days.

### Other sports programming

The YES Network also produces Yankees game broadcasts shown on [Amazon Prime Video](/source/Amazon_Prime_Video) using the same on-air talent seen on the cable network. From 2002 to 2004, [WCBS-TV](/source/WCBS-TV) carried the Yankees broadcasts, with [WWOR](/source/WWOR-TV) taking over those rights later. [WLNY-TV](/source/WLNY-TV) held the local broadcast television rights to the Nets but no longer does. The Yankees package was also simulcast on other television stations in the team's designated market region.

YES also offers a Spanish-language feed of all of its Yankees game telecasts through the [second audio program](/source/Second_audio_program); this feed can also be heard on New York radio station [WADO](/source/WADO) (AM), which current holds the contract to carry the Yankees' Spanish-language broadcasts.

The network attempted to secure television rights to the [New Jersey Devils](/source/New_Jersey_Devils), formerly owned by an affiliate of YankeeNets; after the team was sold to a different ownership group, the Devils opted to renew their contract with MSG Network and FSN New York in 2005, under a long-term agreement.

YES broadcasts [NBA TV](/source/NBA_TV)'s daily news and fantasy basketball shows (usually in the form of rebroadcasts, but occasionally showing live telecasts in the early morning drive time hours) and *[The Marv Albert Show](/source/Marv_Albert)*. For a couple of years during the early 2000s, YES and NBA TV also both aired reruns of the basketball-centered drama series *[The White Shadow](/source/The_White_Shadow_(TV_series))*. The network also previously aired *[This Week in Baseball](/source/This_Week_in_Baseball)* during the week throughout the Major League Baseball regular season, following each episode's original Saturday broadcast on Fox. The network had previously carried *[Major League Baseball: An Inside Look](/source/Major_League_Baseball%3A_An_Inside_Look)* during the week throughout the league's regular season.

As part of a multi-year agreement with MP & Silva, YES aired tape delayed broadcasts of [Premier League](/source/Premier_League), [FA Cup](/source/FA_Cup) and [UEFA Champions League](/source/UEFA_Champions_League) matches involving [Arsenal F.C.](/source/Arsenal_F.C.) In addition to airing Arsenal matches, the network aired select archived match telecasts, as well as the team's magazine shows, *Arsenal World* and *Arsenal 360*. This agreement ended at the start of the 2012–13 Premier League season. Arsenal would get picked up by [ONE World Sports](/source/ONE_World_Sports) while YES would gain partnership with [Manchester City FC](/source/Manchester_City_FC).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

In December 2014, YES announced it had acquired local broadcast rights to [New York City FC](/source/New_York_City_FC) of [Major League Soccer](/source/Major_League_Soccer), a subsidiary of Manchester City FC. Yankee Global Enterprises owns a 20% minority stake in the club, which is majority-owned by [City Football Group](/source/City_Football_Group).[32][33] This continued until 2023, when all regional MLS broadcasts were abolished as part of the league's agreement with [Apple Inc.](/source/Apple_Inc.)[34]

YES also acquired the local broadcast rights to the [WNBA](/source/Women's_National_Basketball_Association)'s [New York Liberty](/source/New_York_Liberty) in 2019 after the team was sold by the [Madison Square Garden Company](/source/Madison_Square_Garden_Company) to Brooklyn Nets minority owner [Joseph Tsai](/source/Joseph_Tsai).[35] In 2024 Liberty rights moved to WWOR and WNYW.[36]

In August 2022, it was announced that the YES Network would start airing [AC Milan](/source/AC_Milan) soccer matches in [Serie A](/source/Serie_A), [Coppa Italia](/source/Coppa_Italia) and [The UEFA Champions League](/source/The_UEFA_Champions_League) as a result of RedBird Capital Partners along with Yankee Global Enterprises acquiring the club on August 30, 2022.[37]

In June 2024, [Willow](/source/Willow_(TV_channel)) announced that it had sublicensed [MI New York](/source/MI_New_York) [Major League Cricket](/source/Major_League_Cricket) matches to YES Network for the 2024 season.[38]

In March 2025 [sports business](/source/Sport_management) publication *[Sportico](/source/Penske_Media_Corporation)* announced a monthly series on YES Network, *Sportico Sports Business presented by [Genius Sports](/source/Genius_Sports)*, hosted by [Bob Lorenz](/source/Bob_Lorenz) and featuring appearances by *Sportico* writers and analysts, and interviews with sports figures.[39]

### YES2

**YES2** was a gametime-only overflow feed of YES Network, which broadcast select Nets games on rare occasions when the Nets and Yankees are scheduled to play at the same time. The feed was carried in both standard and high definition on most cable providers in the New York metropolitan area and nationwide on DirecTV and Charter Spectrum.[40] Nets games conflicting with the Yankees' schedule are now broadcast on an over-the-air Fox or MyNetwork local affiliate.

### YES Network HD

**YES Network HD** is a [1080i](/source/1080i) [high definition](/source/High-definition_television) simulcast feed of the network, which is carried on select cable providers (including [Comcast](/source/Comcast), [Altice USA](/source/Altice_USA), [DirecTV](/source/DirecTV), [RCN](/source/RCN_Corporation), [Charter Spectrum](/source/Charter_Communications) and [Verizon FiOS](/source/Verizon_FiOS)). As of 2019[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=YES_Network&action=edit), YES is currently owned by YES majority owner [Yankee Global Enterprises](/source/Yankee_Global_Enterprises) and before the Disney acquisition (Fox's SportsTime Ohio and other networks; all of those were acquisitions rather than Fox-launched networks) that transmitted their HD simulcasts in 1080i, rather than the company's preferred [720p](/source/720p) format.

When it launched in mid-July 2004, YES HD initially only televised all Yankees home games, as well as away games involving the [New York Mets](/source/New_York_Mets) and [Boston Red Sox](/source/Boston_Red_Sox), in high definition. In 2005, YES began televising all Yankees games played east of the [Mississippi River](/source/Mississippi_River) in high definition, with the network's HD telecasts expanding to encompass virtually all of the Yankees and Nets games in 2006. In addition to game telecasts, the network now also broadcasts all of its studio shows in HD. All YES-produced Yankees and Nets game telecasts aired on WWOR-TV began broadcasting in HD in September 2006; however while the HD feed of the games is available to these outlets, the HD telecasts were not necessarily distributed to television stations outside of the New York City area that simulcast WWOR's game broadcasts.

In April 2007, YES converted the [aspect ratio](/source/Aspect_ratio_(image)) of its primary [standard definition](/source/Standard-definition_television) feed from full-screen to a [letterboxed](/source/Letterboxed) [4:3](/source/4%3A3) format, which is a downconversion from the [16:9](/source/16%3A9) high definition feed. The network's use of the [AFD](/source/Active_Format_Description) #10 broadcast flag to transmit its HD feed in this manner for broadcast in SD predates its use by other national cable networks such as [Fox News Channel](/source/Fox_News_Channel), [ESPN](/source/ESPN) and [CNN](/source/CNN).

YES Network borrowed time on Cablevision's "iO TV 1300" service and on DirecTV to carry the first baseball game ever transmitted in [3D](/source/3D_television) on July 10 and 11, 2010, when the Yankees faced the [Seattle Mariners](/source/Seattle_Mariners); the 3D telecast of the game was also distributed to other cable providers.

### National feed

YES Network maintains a national feed available to select cable providers outside of the New York City market – including [Spectrum](/source/Charter_Communications) (as well as areas once served by [Bright House Networks](/source/Bright_House_Networks)[41] (on its systems in [Tampa](/source/Tampa%2C_Florida) and [Orlando](/source/Orlando%2C_Florida)), Verizon FiOS (in certain markets). The feed does not include the network's live game telecasts (with alternate programming airing in their place), however it does carry the pre-game and post-game shows that bookend Yankees and Nets games aired by YES within the market. This feed differs from the satellite feed of the network available on [DirecTV](/source/DirecTV), in which Yankees and/or Nets games can be viewed outside of the teams' markets through a subscription to [MLB Extra Innings](/source/MLB_Extra_Innings) and/or [NBA League Pass](/source/NBA_League_Pass) and the rest of the YES schedule can be viewed through a subscription to the DirecTV Sports Pack. The YES national feed was launched on July 31, 2003, on cable systems in [Miami](/source/Miami), [Dallas–Fort Worth](/source/Dallas%E2%80%93Fort_Worth), [Chicago](/source/Chicago) and [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles).

### YES in Connecticut

In 2009, the network launched a feed for Connecticut: YES-CT.

### Direct-to-consumer streaming service

In March 2023, YES launched a direct-to-consumer streaming service that included access to a 24/7 feed of YES Network and all New York Yankees, Brooklyn Nets and New York Liberty games appearing on YES. The service is only available in areas where YES is also featured on local cable. The service costs $24.99 per month or $239.99 a year, but was initially offered for an introductory price of $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year.[42]

In January 2024, YES Network established a streaming joint venture with the rival MSG Network known as Gotham Advanced Media and Entertainment (GAME); in August 2024, GAME announced a new streaming platform known as *The Gotham Sports App,* which subsumes the existing streaming platforms of both MSG and YES. Both the YES DTC service and MSG Network's MSG+ are carried via the platform as individual subscriptions, with bundle offers for both to also be available.[43][44]

## Controversies

### Carriage disputes

At its launch, YES became embroiled in a [carriage dispute](/source/Carriage_dispute) with Cablevision (which attempted to purchase the Yankees in 1998 and carried the team's games on MSG Network at the time of the channel's launch), leaving the Yankees' game telecasts not available to the provider's game telecasts for an entire year; this led the [New York state government](/source/Government_of_New_York_(state)) to intervene and serve as negotiator for a temporary carriage agreement between YES and Cablevision. In 2003,[45] the two sides eventually signed a long-term contract to carry the network on Cablevision's New York area systems. This situation was very similar to another lengthy dispute that Cablevision entered into with MSG Network, after that network assumed the regional cable television rights to the Yankees in [1989](/source/1989_New_York_Yankees_season) from Cablevision-owned SportsChannel New York.

[Dish Network](/source/Dish_Network) is the only pay television provider available in the New York City area that does not carry YES Network. The satellite provider has indicated that it would not offer the network unless it negotiates a lower per-channel subscriber fee due to concerns that the rates the network offered could force the provider to increase the pricing of its programming packages.[46] YES, however, has a [most favored nation](/source/Most_favored_nation) clause with all of its cable and satellite providers, in which all of the network's other carriage agreements would be voided if it lowered its subscriber rate for a single provider. Former YES minority owner Goldman Sachs also maintains an ownership stake in Dish Network parent [Echostar](/source/Echostar).

Time Warner Cable relocated YES from channel 30 to channel 53 on its New York City area systems in March 2008, soon after the New York City Council approved a measure to provide the Yankees public funding to build a new stadium. Simultaneously, Time Warner Cable moved business news channel [Bloomberg Television](/source/Bloomberg_Television) to YES' former channel 30 slot, all while renegotiating its ten-year contract with Mayor [Michael Bloomberg](/source/Michael_Bloomberg) (owner of Bloomberg Television parent [Bloomberg L.P.](/source/Bloomberg_L.P.)) and the city of New York.[47]

In 2016, [Comcast](/source/Comcast) (who are part owners of Sportsnet New York) dropped the YES Network.[48] The blackout ended on March 31, 2017, just in time for the start of the [2017 New York Yankees season](/source/2017_New_York_Yankees_season).[49]

### Coverage issues

In 2003, [Don Zimmer](/source/Don_Zimmer) (then employed with the Yankees as a [bench coach](/source/Bench_coach)) expressed criticism of team owner [George Steinbrenner](/source/George_Steinbrenner) in interviews with certain local media outlets. After this came to light, it was later rumored that, in response, Steinbrenner ordered YES not to show Zimmer on-camera during its Yankee telecasts.[50]

In April 2005, YES declined to broadcast pre-game Opening Day festivities celebrating the Boston Red Sox' [2004 World Series](/source/2004_World_Series) championship win prior to its telecast of a Red Sox home game against the Yankees at [Fenway Park](/source/Fenway_Park). YES was roundly criticized for this move, including its decision to use a fixed camera shot focused tightly on correspondent [Kimberly Jones](/source/Kim_Jones_(reporter)) as she described the events surrounding her in general terms. Yankees players not only witnessed the ceremonies, but graciously applauded them from the top steps of their dugout.[51] Perhaps due to this incident, YES broadcast the majority of the ceremonies honoring the Red Sox' celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Fenway Park in 2012.

During the 2005 season, New York City area newspapers reported that the post-game questions asked to Yankees manager [Joe Torre](/source/Joe_Torre) by Kimberly Jones were being sent to her by top-level team executives (possibly on directives from George Steinbrenner), and that Torre did not feel comfortable answering them. Torre, who had been paid by YES to give exclusive interviews after each Yankees game, ended his agreement with the network.[52] YES now sends its reporter to the regular pre-game and post-game media sessions with other broadcast outlets.
