The broadcast home of the Mets is in the very early stages of a possible sale.
SNY is exploring potential deals, including an outright sale, a source familiar with the situation confirmed.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the development Tuesday.
The network has hired bankers at Moelis & Co., a global investment bank, to begin the process of soliciting interest from potential investors.

There will be a 'wide net cast,' the source said, in finding potential buyers, and the belief is there will be a 'robust amount of interest,' the source added, from financial and strategic investors, including team owners, regional sports network owners and media companies.
It is possible and perhaps likely that one of those team owners will be Steve Cohen.
SNY is controlled by the Wilpon and Katz families, who retained the network even as they sold the Mets to the billionaire Cohen for about $2.4 billion in November 2020.

The network covers the Jets and other New York-area sports as well, but it is not a coincidence that a sale is being explored now — amid an excellent start for the first-place Mets and after an inspiring offseason that included landing Juan Soto for a record $765 million.
'It's opportunistic,' the source said of the timing of a potential sale of a rare RSN that is doing well.
SNY, which is available to TV providers in New York, Connecticut and parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, has a partnership with the Mets that runs through 2035.
The Mets are popular, as are the network's broadcasters — Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling — who are beloved by fans.

Shoppers can help provide milk to local families in need by rounding up
CICERO, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — June is National Dairy Month and the American Dairy Association Northeast is teaming up with Price Chopper stores across the region to provide New York-produced milk to families in need. 'The ultimate goal of this campaign is to be able to give milk to food banks because all people need milk to be healthy and grow and this is a great way to connect with our communities and give back,' said Addison Brown, New York State First Associate Dairy Ambassador. It's all part of the Fill a Glass with Hope campaign, geared towards providing state-produced milk to families. From now until the end of June, shoppers at local Price Choppers will be asked to round up at checkout. 'To have a nutritionally balanced meal you need to have dairy products right, and whether that's milk, or a cheese or a yogurt product you know it's all things that are essential, and those are items that the Food Bank of Central New York we cannot receive those from the general public as donations,' said Lynn Hy, Chief Development Officer for Food Bank of Central New York. Campaigns like this make it possible. All of the money raised this month will be given to the Food Bank of Central New York. 'We're able to use those funds to purchase those items and then get them distributed out to our 11-county service area,' said Hy. 'Farmers work 365 days a year, taking care of the land and their cows to be able to produce a wholesome, nutritious product,' said Brown. It also comes at a time when it's needed the most, with children no longer having access to free or reduced school meals as they head into summer break. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
