Delayed Bally Sports Postgame Shows

     Bally Sports Florida has broadcast locally produced Florida Panthers postgame shows while Bally Sports Sun has aired locally produced Miami Heat postgame shows since the second round of the 2022-23 postseason. Panthers and Heat games were only aired by the regional sports networks during the first round of the playoffs. National companies have the exclusive television rights from the second round of the postseason through the league championship round. 

     Something strange occurred on the night that the Miami Heat and the Florida Panthers were eliminated. Both of the South Florida sports teams postgame shows were delayed long after their contests ended. 

     The Heat postgame show following their Game 5 loss to the Denver Nuggets was not broadcast on Bally Sports Sun on Monday night, however it was streamed on the Bally Sports ap. It was because the Tampa Bay Rays were playing on the west coast against the Oakland A's. 

     The Panthers postgame show following their Game 5 defeat to the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night was not aired on Bally Sports Florida until the start of the 1 A.M. hour. It was due to the Miami Marlins being involved in a high-scoring long game versus the Mariners in Seattle.
