SportsProMedia has a report on Disney entering into a “handshake” agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group, the parent company of ROH, to sell its regional sports networks to Sinclair Broadcasting Group (SBG). The deal is reportedly worth $10 billion.

As part of Disney’s recent acquisition of 20th Century Fox, Disney was ordered by the US Department of Justice last year to divest itself of RSNs that ESPN owners acquired in order to avoid monopolizing the sports rights market in the US. You can read more on the Disney/Fox deal RIGHT HERE.

This isn’t Kimber Lee talking for a moment. This is Kimberly Ann Frankele, . . . I wasn’t going to talk about it. I was embarrassed. I didn’t want to think about what people would say. But now I’m here and after really listening to my heart, I know this should be talked about more than it is. My name is Kim and I’m an Alcoholic. . . . It took me a LOOOONNNNGGG time to accept. Drinking is so prevalent in our society today that you feel like there’s something wrong if you can’t drink like everyone else. I’ve been sober before but it was for all the wrong reasons. This time everything was for me. I decided to change the course my life was headed down because it wasn’t going to end well. I’ve almost lost everything because of alcohol and I refuse to let it run my life any longer. . . . If this is something you’re struggling with please don’t be afraid to go get help. A.A. is the best decision I’ve ever made and as terrified as I was to walk in to my first meeting I feel like I have a whole new family now and all they want for me is my sobriety and my success. Go get help. Don’t be afraid. There are more people out there just like you than you will ever know. I know I’m no where near @eminem and his 11 years, but he had this 2 month coin at some point too. We all start somewhere. And I plan to keep succeeding one day at a time. 💜💚
