4_tattoos Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Still no word from D.C. United as to who may be their new broadcasting partner in 2020. They ended their deal with FloFC before the 2019 season officially ended. That platform was not well received buy the club's fans. Most DCU fans are hoping for the team to partner with either one of the local broadcast stations, one of the regional sports networks (NBC Sports Washington or MASN), or even YouTube TV.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 YouTube TV announced that it will no longer carry Sounders games.

Digby Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I remember a hot rumor a year or so ago that MLS was going to ditch local TV contracts entirely and sign everything up with one of the streaming services. Maybe it was BS, turns out. Seems sensible as an idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and No. A while ago MLS HQ advised it's teams to not sign any long(er) term local broadcast contracts beyond the current overall MLS broadcast deal in order to have the bidding done for everything (national, regional, local) together and get more $ from that. Would be nice if all was on 1 (good) service, but they still could split it up to local broadcasters after selling the rights. Example: big service provider buys all the rights from MLS, then re-sells some of them to regional/local broadcasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of MLS is streamed online with ESPN+ or on a ESPN network(besides the rare one on fox), but they didnt kill off local yet Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's where we're ending up. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's where we're ending up. Right, this is what I had kind of assumed with the previous round of smoke. Come 2021 or so even your local game would be on ESPN+ or YouTube TV or whatever, and not your local RSN. Thought that was an interesting idea, given that MLS teams maybe don't all have the legacy connections and money of Big Four sports teams who control RSNs, combined with a more loyal core group of fans who are theoretically younger and more plugged-in.

This is actually the third logo they've had in five years, having scrapped their original logo after a bad initial reaction. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Mainly streaming high school sports, most of the G League team's games, some of the Washington Mystics games & the now defunct Arena Football teams Leonsis owned. DCU could be the biggest deal on Monumental by default. Don't see Ted going that route unless he becomes involved with DCU ownership though.
