The SHOW Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 As I'm watching MLB TV on my PS4 I've been thinking and this is how I would do the TV contract for MLB ABC- Monday Night MLB/NBC- Friday Night CBS - Saturday (AL) FOX- Saturday (NL) NBCSN- Saturday Night ESPN- Sunday Night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaline97 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I missed TBS's Sunday afternoon (1 ET) games from a couple years back. Gave me something to do before the Rockies came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grish Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I could buy the MLB package for MLB.tv and get my local team on ROKU. "Try not to have a good time ... This is supposed to be educational."- Charles Schulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're Probably right that's why I picked NBCSN over CBSSN and I was thinking TBS do Saturday Night after the All Star Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sykotyk Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I think NBCSN is happy with soccer and hockey. They've got a niche sport in hockey that they have almost exclusive rights to (the Universal umbrella, that is) and they paid a ton to get the English Premier League away from Fox. I just wish NBCSN had MLS to help promote it from the EPL broadcasts. Always find it funny that Sky sports advertises MLS on the field sideboards of EPL games hoping to draw eyeballs thanks to it, like the EPL in the US, being on at odd times without direct competition. As for baseball. The problem is nobody cares about it unless it's their team playing. Which is why Sunday Night Baseball favors the big markets at a staggering rate. They need those local fans to tune in to make the audience respectable. I'm an Indians fan. The number of regular season Indians games I've watched in whole or at least a few innings in the past three years was probably 100-150. I think I've watched maybe 2 or 3 games not involving the Indians in that same time frame (though not in person, as when I travel, I like to attend live games where I'm at). Actually, I've been to three MLB games in person in the past three years (Tampa Bay v. Toronto, Atlanta v. Boston, and Cincinnati v. St. Louis). Now, I will watch some playoff baseball. And try to watch the World Series. Or at least the first game or so until one team gets away from the other or the Game 6 or 7 when I know a champion could be crowned.

The SHOW Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hate to say it but you're right there was a time when Sunday Night Baseball had Padres vs Giants, Dodgers vs Braves, Angels vs Twins but now it either the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs or Cardinals every week.

Sykotyk Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Pirates were on KDKA while Indians were on WUAB (an independent station). Most Pirates games were on a channel called KBL (a cable channel owned by KDKA or started by them) that later became Fox Sports Pittsburgh, FSN Pittsburgh, and when the FSN idea fell through, broke off with a few others the owned by the same group as Root Sports Pittsburgh. Indians went from WUAB to Fox Sports Ohio. And then STO, and then STO and FSO appeared to have merged together. Fox Sports Ohio was always a pain, because they had three feeds (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati) and you never knew which was going to be on what for quite some time. Especially when I lived in PA and we first got it, since we had FSN Pittsburgh and national channels airing a game would be blacked out to watch on your 'local' channel which we didn't get. It was maddening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was maddening. I know what you mean I grew up watching the Dodgers on KTTV, the Angels on KTLA and the Padres on KUSI. I get it that they're not much indy channel but they could still put games on free TV when the Padres signed a 15 years contract with COX they were smart to include KUSI and later XETV in the deal.

The_Admiral Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Dream scenario: I'd have the NBC Game of the Week on Saturday afternoon. Just one, no regional feeds. Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN, of course, plus weeknight games here and there as the season goes. Braves on TBS, Cubs on WGN. NBC and ESPN split October, World Series on NBC, with any weekend games played during the day. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
