Although not an apples to apples comparison, I like how the NHL revamped its broadcast rights with ESPN+ televising nearly all out of market games for just $6.99/month. Sure I cannot watch the Blue Jackets due to blackout restrictions, but I’m thrilled to follow my beloved Washington Capitals and Ovechkin chasing Gretzky for a bargain price. Now if an MLB streaming service could offer local team games for under $20 monthly, I think it would take off in popularity.
Right now MLB.tv I think is like 120 for all games (in one installment or do 4 of 30, 6 of 20 type) except it's blackedout local games... maybe do the 120 with blackouts and make it 160 or so, for no blackouts type of thing. Give options for people so that way if they live out of region, most games don't get blackedout and in region they can pay more and that pays for the station in a sense. Also I wish we could get MLB Network with MLB.tv since isn't it supposed to be MLB all the time anyways? Lol
