I heard about this on 32 Thoughts a bit ago but The Hockey Guy just did a video on it as well. Diamond Sports Group which is the parent company for Bally Sports which does broadcasts for 40 teams between the NHL, NBA, and MLB is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy instead of paying a $140 million interest payment that's due next week. The speculation seems to be that this won't have an impact this season but could cause problems for a few teams going forward.

NHL teams impacted: (source)

Desert Dogs
Wings
Panthers
Blues
Wild
Blue Jackets
Mighty Ducks
Kings
Canes
Preds
Stars
Lightning

It seems like Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) are having issues.
