Should answer plenty of questions yesterday’s announcement brought up.

Please, please, please find somebody besides Sadak to call Reds games! I had no clue this was a possibility in this change…what great news!!!!
Hopefully the current broadcasting team remains intact
Please keep Sadak!
Well this looks like my family will be done with the Reds!!! We have been extremely loyal viewer for Fox Sports Ohio and Bally Sports Ohio over Spectrum. If we can’t do this during the 2025 season then my Wife and I will drop to a cheaper Spectrum package and save the money to catch live games in StL.
Ok, maybe I’m dense but this sounds like games will be on Ballys/Fan Duel next season. Is that correct?
“Nothing will really change for fans that have an existing TV package that includes FanDuel Sports [Network Ohio],” he said.
$19.99 a month is inline with similar services (this is how much the Indiana pacers service costs) so I’m actually fine with that. Anyone that thinks it should have been dramatically cheaper I think does not understand the economics of actually running one of these broadcast services without being able to free ride on cable carriage fees.
The streaming services spending the last decade loss leading for market share has warped people’s perceptions of how much broadcasting actually costs. A $9.99 a month service or cheaper was never in the cards
any chance it’ll be added to hulu live? i know they had a problem with bally’s parent company, but not mlb.
Since nobody has called out potentially the most important part of this article, here’s the quote at the end:
“We will maintain payroll levels at or above 2024,” Healy said. “And we will continue to give Nick Krall, Terry Francona and the entire Reds baseball operations the resources they need to field a championship caliber team at the major league level.”
How a company that runs one of the largest sports betting services is allowed to media rights to those very teams they take bets on, is wild to me.
Seems like a prime opportunity to ditch Lark from the booth and bring in someone like Cowboy for color. Maybe even a recurring three man booth with Votto?!?!?!
If we lose Sadak we riot
We still don’t know what channel they will be on I guess?
I pray that YouTube TV is able to negotiate with MLB to get this apart of their standard package
This sucks
So if you currently got FDSN through cable, and those existing packages will continue, what app will you stream games on? Will it have to be the TV provider’s app? Can you sign in with your provider on MLB.tv?
