MLB Strike Zone to Launch

[king3pj]

It would be wonderful if this were in Dish America Silver but I'm guessing I'll have to get Multi-Sport to try this.

They haven't said they will do this but I think redzone usually does a preview the opening week. Maybe strike zone will too especially because it's a new channel.

I thought Monday, not Tuesday, was a weak night for baseball. I know my team has a game scheduled for every Tuesday this season.

I wont pay 9.00 a month for it.

It's not $9, that is for the whole sports package. I'm sure the separate price will be less....

Launch of MLB Network Strike Zone on Ch. 153

Also available to subscribers as an add-on package with a qualifying programming package.

(No mention of what are the qualifying packages are yet)

I would guess the same packages MLBN is in, Top200 and up...?

 

[Scherrman]

So is this the baseball equivalent of NFL redzone?

I thought you would have to buy the sports package to get it , like nfl red zone.

Sure would be nice if Dish did a special free promo for this channel, like they did with RedZone for last season.

It will be offered as a part of the MultiSport package, Also available to subscribers as an add-on package with a qualifying programming package.

It will be available in the MultiSport package. It won't be available seperately. Scott's first post has the word 'also' which is not in the original release...

This exciting new service will be offered as a part of the MultiSport package, available to subscribers as an add-on package with a qualifying programming package.

Thanks for that clarification. Now I'm wondering if it's Thursday or Friday.........

Just FYI DISH will be adding it this Wednesday (although it will only be active on Tuesdays and Thursdays). Dish also carried MLB Network as well.

I see the other site has posts it will be Tuesday and Thursday, not Friday.......

Tuesdays & Fridays

Sounds pretty intresting, I wonder how much as a standalone, looks like from a business stand point there aiming at keeping that multisport revenue when people drop after football season

My understanding it is in Multisport or other select packages (I have no idea what those other select packages are)

That would be good news. I guess we'll find out by 5pm today.

how about a source?

 

[ZachS@DISH]

The update that I received this morning states that it will be in the Multi Sport package. It does not mention being available in any other packages.

 

[fbara]

I don't have multisport pkg and I can't even see channel 153 (since they moved MLBN to 152, that is).

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Its not turned on yet. It will be available later this afternoon.
