Is the WNBA now profitable?

The question is in the title. They just inked a new TV deal that seems like a major improvement. Will the "this is a charity league" argument become obsolete?

Supposedly they were set to lose $50M this year (source: https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/wnba-losses-2024-media-rights-deal-cathy-engelbert-adam-silver-caitlin-clark-nba/#:~:text=The%20North%20American%20league%20ended,unprofitable%20in%20its%2028th%20year) and will be getting $200M/year from the deal you linked, so it depends if that figure was included in the projections or not. 

Having Amazon throw you $200M annually is a good way to become profitable, I suppose.
