MadmanLA Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Keep in mind that as long as the Angels keep collecting that $150 million a year check from Fox Sports (or whomever winds up with the Fox RSNs in the near-future), plus the equity stake in Fox Sports West, they're not leaving Southern California. That contract doesn't expire for another thirteen seasons. They wouldn't even get that much money if they moved to another market...hell, even if they were to become a third NYC team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some rumble that Arte was interested in buying the Fox Sports West RSN himself. Idk how that would affect that check, but it would certainly give the Angels a more direct revenue streak. 1 Quote | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times article talks about that, and practically everything else about this thread. It's basically a convoluted mess, as far as how the Fox RSNs sale gets situated...a lot of players involved. I saw somewhere else that he wants to buy both of the L.A. Fox RSNs, and Fox Sports' Arizona & San Diego channels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA Live is the area in the heart of Downtown LA right around Staples Center and the convention center. So, three miles away from Dodger Stadium, it's very uncommon territory to see prominent Angels advertising. 1 Quote | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 They did that a fair amount when they rebranded to LA Angels back in 2005, too. Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely remember seeing an Angels billboard along Wilshire Boulevard right around that time as well. They and the Dodgers did a joint billboard for Trout and Kershaw back in 2015; this one was at Wilshire and Highland Avenue in the Miracle Mile District... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 What's wrong with it (other than the general ills of Southern California urban planning)?

The_Admiral Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It's the inverse of Chicago, where the tollways and expressways comprise route numbers that change or get doubled up such that saying "94" is effectively meaningless. They're all 94! Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
