|After Cablevision became a partner in FSN and converted their SportsChannel networks to the FSN banner, MSG Network also became an FSN outlet, albeit keeping its own branding and graphics (a variant of the MSG logo of the time with a Fox Sports Net logo underneath was used on occasion). MSG carried FSN programming at different times to FSN New York and also contributed footage to FSN programs. (Prior to either MSG or SportsChannel New York, then-independent station WBIS-TV, now [[WPXN-TV]], carried FSN programming as part of its sports offerings.)

|Launched in 2002, News Corporation acquired a 49% stake in YES in November 2012, in a deal that included an option to allow the company to expand its interest in the network to 80% within three years.<ref name="deadline-hollywood-2012"/> The option carried over to 21st Century Fox, following its founding through the subsequent 2013 [[Corporate spin-off|spin-off]] of News Corporation's entertainment assets, which exercised the option for Fox Sports to acquire 80% majority control of YES (with the network's founding parent Yankees Global Enterprises retaining the remaining 20%) in January 2014.<ref name="broadcastingcable2013"/> YES later began carrying Fox Sports-sourced programming in September 2013; prior to the Fox Sports purchase, YES had carried select Yankees game telecasts over-the-air broadcast on Fox-owned [[MyNetworkTV]] station [[WWOR-TV]] and the Tribune-owned station [[WPIX]]. On December 14, 2017, [[The Walt Disney Company]] announced their intent to [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|acquire 21st Century Fox]] for $52.4 billion after the spin-off of certain businesses to a "[[New Fox]]" company, while the acquisition was originally slated to include Fox Sports' regional operations, the [[United States Department of Justice|Justice Department]] ordered their divestment under antitrust grounds, citing Disney's ownership of [[ESPN]]. Yankee Global Enterprises invoked a clause the rights to buy their stake of the YES Network back following the acquisition from Disney. On March 8, 2019, it was reported that the Yankees had reached a deal to re-purchase Fox's share in the network for $3.5 billion, with [[Sinclair Broadcast Group]], [[Amazon.com]] and [[The Blackstone Group]] holding minority shares.
