I’ve got an update on Bally Sports+, since it launches nationwide today. This does not effect the Guardians at all right now, since Bally doesn’t have their streaming rights. However assuming Bally secures those rights by April of next season AND the entire network doesn’t get sold to another entity, this is how it’ll work.
The Cleveland market is in an unfortunate situation, because we have TWO regional channels owned by Bally’s, Bally Sports Ohio and Bally Sports Great Lakes. In the Cleveland market, the Cavs & Bluejackets are on Bally Sports Ohio, and the Guardians are on Bally Sports Great Lakes.
So if anyone actually subscribes to Bally Sports+, most people in this market will have to choose whether they’d rather watch Cavs or Guardians games, and the pricing for that is $19.99/month, or $189.99/year.
To get access to both channels and be able to watch both Cavs & Guardians games, they have a special package for that where they’ll make you pay $29.99/month, with no annual option.
That’s pretty pricey for most people.
