PlayStation Vue drops beIN Sports channels

BeIN Sports has confirmed that its channels have been dropped by PlayStation Vue after an “impasse” over the pay-television broadcaster’s contract with the video-game platform.

The beIN Sports and beIN Sports en Español channels are no longer available on PlayStation Vue.

BeIN Sports said that Sony, which operates PlayStation Vue, had “refused to renew” the contract even though the broadcaster “made every possible effort to reach a deal.”

A PlayStation Vue official added: “Despite our best efforts, we were unable to come to an agreement on terms with the network.”
