Yankee Global Enterprises LLC (Yankee Global) was formed in 1999, and is the owner of the New York Yankees baseball club and the YES Network cable channel. It was originally created through a merger between the Yankees and the New Jersey Nets basketball team, known at the time as YankeeNets. Yankee Global Enterprises is controlled by the Steinbrenn...
In 1998, the Yankees had their most successful season in modern history, winning a combined total of 125 regular season and playoff games, culminating in a World Series championship. The team was in discussions to be sold to Cablevision, who at the time owned the broadcast rights to every MLB, NBA and NHL team in the New York City Metropolitan area...
After the proposed sale of the New York Yankees to Cablevision fell through, the Yankees and Nets agreed to merge business operations, creating a combined holding company. This was done to increase the negotiating power of both teams for future television contracts and stadium and arena construction deals. The pre-merger owners would continue to co...
YankeeNets engaged in marketing agreements with the New York Giants football team and the British football powerhouse Manchester United, which resulted in exclusive Giants and Manchester United programming on the YES Network for a period of time.
YankeeNets created an affiliate, Puck Holdings, which purchased the New Jersey Devils ice hockey team, to have relationships in all major league professional sports, and to give better leverage to the Nets in constructing the Prudential Center in Newark.

In 2003, reports leaked that the Yankees and Nets sides of the organization were in disagreement with each other. The Yankee ownership in Tampa did not want any part in paying for an arena for the Nets and Devils, as the teams were money-losers. This led to the Nets being sold to Bruce Ratner, who intended to move the team to an arena in Brooklyn, New York, and the Devils being sold to businessman Jeffrey Vanderbeek, who moved the franchise to the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey as was originally proposed by the previous Nets ownership. Since the breakup, the Devils also extended their television contract with Cablevision, ending the speculation that they would move to YES once their initial contract expired after the 2006-07 hockey season.
The legacy of YankeeNets is the YES Network, which allowed both the Yankees and Nets to dramatically increase their revenues. This allowed the Yankees to front the $800 million to construct their new Yankee Stadium.
In 2004, with the exodus of the Nets and Devils complete, the company changed its name to Yankee Global Enterprises LLC, keeping the Yankees and the YES Network as separate entities owned by the same company.
In August 2006, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said in an interview with Bloomberg radio, that the team is losing money, due to Major League Baseball's luxury tax. It is unknown if the entity that is losing money is Yankee Global, or just the ballclub. After barely breaking even in 2002, the YES Network has been successful in generating rev...
