MSG+ is being replaced with a new service

Me again haha

The new "Gotham Sports App" is combining YES and MSG+ into a single service which is, apparently, planned to launch before the start of the NHL and NBA seasons in October. Looks like existing MSG+ will be sunsetted when this launches, which I imagine means the authentication and stream grabbing code will need to be reworked for the new service

Assuming this launches in time, I'd be eternally grateful if it was possible to get this going for this season 💖

It looks like MSG+ and YES will keep running as well? I'm curious to see how it'll turn out. MSG+ was a pretty awful service to try and reverse engineer (terrible interface), so hopefully Gotham is better.

MSG+ is kinda awful to use too, so I can only imagine lol

Yea, it looks like the plan is to bundle MSG+ and YES into the single Gotham front end, but people can still choose to subscribe to either separately or both. Hopefully this means the back end is left alone and your code will still work while both services are just wrapped in a different front end
