Starting next season, the NBA Phoenix Suns and WNBA Mercury will leave 
Sinclair's bankrupt Bally Sports Arizona for Gray Broadcasting's indie KTVK 
and new LPTV KPHE (branded with CBS affil KPHO as "Arizona's Family") for a 
deal that will have both teams' games not airing nationally on ABC, ESPN or 
TNT airing on the two stations (KPHE may be low-power, but will eventually 
have translators all over the state)--KTVK dropped Fox in the mid-90s and 
never looked back with its successful mix of sports, news and "Jeopardy!" 
and "Wheel of Fortune" running in the first hour of prime time at 7 p.m.:

As the MLB teams are seeing the Bally regional channels default on 
payments, there could be a lot of sports teams returning to OTA in the next 
year.
