Can you please rephrase the following sentence?

Thursday night, numerous Detroit Red Wings fans will experience the same disappointment that some Pistons fans faced last month. Unless there are any alterations made by Fox Sports Detroit, it won’t be long before Tigers fans also discover that they are unable to watch their beloved team.

Fans who rely on streaming services like Hulu or YouTubeTV will unfortunately not be able to watch the Red Wings’ season opener against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.

The reason for this is a disagreement over the renewal of the contracts between the streaming services and Sinclair Broadcast Group, the parent company of a collection of regional sports channels including Fox Sports Detroit.

The impending launch of Michigan’s online sports betting is expected to significantly affect the overall revenue generated from sports betting, particularly through in-game wagers.

Fox Sports Detroit offers Red Wings’ fans a solution

The social network channels of Fox Sports Detroit are currently running a campaign encouraging customers to switch providers. To learn more about this initiative, visit www.getmyhometeams.com.

Clicking on the link will direct fans to a website where they can easily switch to popular cable carriers like AT&T TV, DIRECTV, and Xfinity. While certain packages from these companies may offer Fox Sports Detroit in higher sports tiers, the good news is that the channel remains accessible to viewers.

In September and October, Hulu and YouTube’s contracts with Sinclair came to an end. Fubo TV, on the other hand, is a streaming service that currently lacks an agreement with Sinclair.

According to the FAQ section on the website, it is stated that the streaming providers have been presented with fair offers, just like numerous others. However, it is evident that their prioritization does not align with the interests of sports fans.

In Colorado, there is an ongoing dispute that resembles the aforementioned situation. Altitude TV, the channel that airs Denver Nuggets and Avalanche games, is not accessible to subscribers of Comcast or DISH Network.

According to Ian St. Clair’s editorial in PlayColorado, there seems to be no resolution in sight for the ongoing “childish squabble.”

Even though facing challenges, the Red Wings will have the privilege of being featured on national television 10 times throughout this season, with three of those appearances on NBC.
