A3N 996 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 D'Backs sticking with MLB to produce/distribute their telecasts. MLB will also produce & distribute select Spring Training & regular season games for the Padres & Rockies this season. These ventures will be branded with MLB's .TV moniker... i.e. Padres.TV/Rockies.TV/Dbacks.TV MLB has hinted at plans to bring their own league-controlled DTC venture which would take over the television distribution rights for at least a dozen teams in 2025. This is expected to occur once the television rights of clubs affiliated with Bally Sports are reverted back to their respective teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good decision to go with the MLB, considering Altitude won’t do crap because they “aren’t owned by Kroenke”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoopInTheHouse 63 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 A pretty big roast for ESPN on the scoreboard tonight in the Cubs v. Rangers game is a “win probability” for both teams, which change after key moments in the game, like a Adolis Garcia homer or a RBI single for rookie Wyatt Langford and UPLOAD COMPLETE. BOOT-UP CHANGE. Uh, sorry about that. Anyways, here’s a photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper550 268 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Missed this during Spring Training (especially given that our Sportsnet carried the PIT feed on this game), but Sportsnet Pittsburgh has unsurprisingly commandeered the NESN Red Sox graphics too. The only difference being that the blueish tint on the NESN version was made dark grey like the Bruins/Penguins graphics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
