AR 185 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Comcast and YES Network to renew their carriage agreement before its expiration in March 2025.

This New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 185) urges Comcast and the YES Network to renew their broadcast agreement before it expires on March 25, 2025. It directly affects hundreds of thousands of Comcast customers in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania who watch New York Yankees and Brooklyn Nets games. The resolution highlights past disruptions (like the 2016 blackout) and recommends Comcast reimburse customers for broadcast interruptions while encouraging both parties to negotiate terms that avoid rate increases for Yankees fans.
