The Milwaukee Bucks have agreed upon a seven-year, $200 million television deal with Fox Sports Wisconsin.

Fox will pay the bucks $26 million for their rights next season, up from $20 million last season.

With 4 percent annual escalators, the contract averages around $30 million per year. 

The Bucks’ previous deal with Fox Sports Wisconsin carried an annual average in the high teens.

Increased interest in the team is reflected in its local RSN ratings that this past season rose almost 6 percent to its highest TV ratings in more than 12 years.
