Yankees fans who subscribe to Comcast’s Xfinity cable television service are in danger of missing out on the team’s games this season because of a contract dispute that has blacked out the YES Network before Opening Day. YES, the regional sports network that serves as the television home of the Bronx Bombers, could be unavailable on Xfinity systems in parts of New Jersey and other neighboring markets as of midnight late Thursday night following the expiration of a temporary carriage fee agreement between the two sides. Negotiations began after the original deal lapsed at the end of last year.
