The Angels and the Diamond Sports Group have reached an agreement on a new deal that will allow fans to watch games on the FanDuel Sports Network, via cable providers or by subscribing to a streaming service, a source said.

The FanDuel Sports Network was previously known as Bally Sports.

The deal is expected to be announced in the coming days. The length of the new deal is unclear. Pricing for the subscription service is to be determined.

Under the previous arrangement with Diamond, fans in Southern California did not have access to the Bally Sports West broadcasts without subscribing to a third-party cable provider that carried the network.

The St. Louis Cardinals recently reached a similar agreement.

The sports media landscape has been shifting for years because of a growing number of viewers cutting cable in favor of streaming services. That led to bankruptcy for Diamond, which operated several regional sports networks under the Bally Sports name.

Diamond dropped broadcasts of several teams, leaving them to scramble to find a new home for their broadcasts and to replace the revenue lost from the television contract.

The value of the new contract between the Angels and Diamond is unclear, but last month Angels owner Arte Moreno said he did not expect a significant loss of revenue that would affect the way the club is operated.
