Bally Sports and MSG RSN Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

[Jimbo]

Because they think people will pay more for their local team.

Unfortunately , people probably will ....
They charge 60% of the whole league, for 1 team ... btw, it's not those in what was your RSN, this is much more expensive than that, at least when I had an RSN to pay for I got all 3 teams.

 

[Mr Tony]

The Indians were on a separate package that cost MORE than the MLB.TV package together ... why would they charge More for 1 team like that, do they not want any subs.

Maybe because the only other option for people who want the local team is through cable/satellite etc
Last season about 2 or 3 weeks into the season they offer the local team for much cheaper. That is how I got the Twins local broadcast. It was like $60 for the season or how much extra per month on satellite/cable etc? Directv to move up from Entertainment (which my landlord pays at the building I am in) to Choice is like $32-35 or something like that per month. What about people who don't give a rats patoot about getting Directv etc that wants just the local sports team??

Yeah if MLB is going to take over these FanDuel orphaned teams and you live in a market with multiple teams MLB should give you all teams in your geographic location for one reasonable price. I mean it isn't your fault you live in an area where multiple teams claim you as being in their area.
