nathannah 2402 Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 Never too early to start and we have a big one to start the thread out with...Gray is picking up 15 Braves broadcasts and ten spring training games throughout their territory for next year, and yes, good ol' channel 17 (or some games, 17.2) is the flagship as God intended. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21597-2025-mlb-season/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYAZSporty 124 Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 (edited) The old WTBS now Peachtree TV, which if I'm not mistaken north of the border in Canada, is still being shown like it was back in the old SuperStation days getting similar treatment to WPIX, WGN, & KTLA.

The Rangers will also be launching a new RSN (funny saying that considering it's the initials) called Rangers Sports Network. Wonder if, considering they're using the same streaming platform as the Mavericks & Stars, if in the future, games of those teams will air there as well, I think that'd be a move they'd consider to fill air time in the Winter months. Select games will air on KDAF (CW/Dallas-Ft. Worth). Local TV stations outside DFW airing games shown on KDAF:https://mktg.mlbstatic.com/rangers/documents/y2025/2025_OTA_Map_FNL.pdf Edited January 29 by NYAZSporty 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21597-2025-mlb-season/#findComment-303215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYAZSporty 124 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Nothing set in stone yet, but it appears the Arizona Diamondbacks are going to have an OTA package of some form for the upcoming season according to their President & CEO. Certainly the Phoenix market has many options including the 2 indy stations KTVK & KASW, even the MyNetwork affiliate KUTP is viable. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21597-2025-mlb-season/#findComment-303690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYAZSporty 124 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) SNY will be offering a DTC package in the Mets broadcast territory for the upcoming baseball season & will stream full-time on the MLB app, ditching its own app in the process. It'll go for $24.99/mo, $124.99/season, or $149.99/year. https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/subscribe/sny?partnerId=redirect-nym-snymets Edited February 18 by NYAZSporty 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21597-2025-mlb-season/#findComment-303718 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if they show more than just football on Sundays year round, then might as well call it the obvious. EDIT: Don't forget also during the Olympic years where there'll be coverage there too on Sundays.

With the NBA Playoffs happening April through June and Sunday Night Football starting in September, I don't think NBC would be a great partner if MLB wants their games to be carried on the mothership. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21597-2025-mlb-season/#findComment-303802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3293 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 If the ESPN package stays on linear, Fox would be the most likely candidate. They are MLB’s biggest media partner by far. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21597-2025-mlb-season/#findComment-303804 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megatron81 256 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It will be interesting where the Sunday Night Baseball package goes to come 2026, I think maybe FS1 if FOX Sports takes the package, maybe The CW will bid on it, streaming Netflix, Amazon Prime Video etc. I'm surprised that ESPN didn't ask for a discount a few years ago when they decided not to air as many MLB games that would've been the right time for them to do it in my opinion. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21597-2025-mlb-season/#findComment-303920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper550 290 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Gray's Braves Spring Training games have their own graphics that aren't too bad. It's serviceable with that "NFL preseason"/late-2000s Raycom Sports vibe. Even though they are going to be produced by FDSN instead, you begin to wonder if the regular season games may keep these, since they went as far as even making a "Braves on Gray" branding for them.

A3N 1002 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 There's a lot of little hints of the Ballys/FanDuel gfx package. I'm curious to know if these will be the new FDSN package. Makes no sense in creating a new package for Gray... plus they won't even be producing the telecasts . 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21597-2025-mlb-season/#findComment-304069 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathannah 2402 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Glimmer said: Brewers will have 10 games air on WITI (as well as several other stations in WI) this year Closing the circle on local broadcasters (love that they have the home opener); WITI has broadcast Brewers games of course, but only as part of Fox telecasts. Now every commercial station in the market (not counting WVCY of course) has at least had one year airing games locally since the team came to town in 1970.

NYAZSporty 124 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) This season will be the last for Bob Carpenter as the TV voice of the Washington Nationals & also the end, in all likelihood, of a great sports broadcasting career. He was the first host of ESPN's College Gameday & did other stuff for them & also was a voice for the St. Louis Cardinals. https://www.masnsports.com/blog/carpenter-reveals-this-will-be-final-season-as-nats-lead-announcer Edited March 24 by NYAZSporty 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21597-2025-mlb-season/#findComment-304604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
