Kolek planning to go pro
More than half of NHL and NBA teams show their games on FS Regional Channels. People don't need to wait for MLB to miss games. That's already started. Many people out there have Dish, YTTV, Hulu, Fubo, etc...other, and so on...
While that is all true, the demand for MLB on the RSN's are much stronger than NBA/NHL.
Does anyone know if there has been any momentum towards YTTV adding Fox Regional/Bally's stations back to their package? I thought I saw something the other day about the Brewers being back on YTTV, but I can't find that anywhere now. Apologies if this has already been discussed - I didn't see it addressed directly in the last 2 pages of this thread.
Thanks for the info. So if Sinclair plans to start their own streaming service, is it safe to assume that the sinclair sports stations won't be put back on YTTV anytime soon?
Man, what a frustrating way to try to watch sports. I can't imagine MLB (or NBA, NHL) are thrilled that this is how their product is being distributed. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the long run, and if the sports leagues do more to distribute their games themselves somehow. Side thought... I wonder if radio stations that broadcast MLB games will see a windfall in ad revenue due to more people listening to games on the radio.
I believe you can have ESPN+ without an ESPN subscription. You would only get items on ESPN+ only. Not even ESPN3.
I don't think people will go back to radio. I think people will skip it entirely. We have seen that this year.

The recent agreement is between the Brewers and Sinclair to continue airing Brewers game on the Fox Sports Regional (Wisconsin) which is being rebranded to Bally's Sports Wisconsin.Later this year, Sinclair will release its own direct to consumer app/stream, but, it is not expected until later in the year.If you stream the only place to get it is AT&T TV. ($80-$85 package)Otherwise, DirecTV owned by AT&T, and, some cable outlets have it.I would not be surprised if there were no new deals until Sinclair releases their own product.
Quick bump here for the first day of spring training games. Does a subscription for a streaming service that includes FS1 (I'm looking at sling orange+blue) then allow you access to your local Fox Sports Regional by signing into the FSGo app? So if I sign up for Sling that includes FS1, can I login to FSGo and watch Brewers games that way if I'm in the FSWI footprint? Sorry if this has been covered in this thread already.
No.A few people have suggested MLB.TV as an option. It of course is more expensive than regular monthly tv viewing, and it doesn't solve the other sports besides baseball problem with Sinclair. (I have had MLB Extra Innings in the past with my television provider, which is a similar price as MLB.TV) You can try a free 7 day trial to MLB.TV to see if you like it/want to pay for it. Best value is entire season price. I don't have any confidence that Sinclair will reach deals with others before releasing its own app next year, although it could happen. And it is unknown when the 2022 Sinclair app will be available, cost, quality, etc...Your only streaming package option right now is switching to AT&T TV. Otherwise you would need to do MLB.TV
Also, have there blackout issues with MLB.TV? I subcribed for a half season a couple years ago and I think I remember bumping into blackout problems both for the local team that also broadcasted through a Fox Sports regional and for the national broadcasts. I'd just hate to pony up for MLB.TV only to have more than half the games i want to watch blacked out.
