Wouldn't MLB.tv be cheaper?

 

[meStevo]

I dunno, I don't watch stickball. Maybe the Athletics coming to town will change that.

MLB-TV is out of market games. RSN's are in market games.

Use to get the In Market Games in TV package ... now its yet another sub you'll need if you want to see your local team.

I still get the In Market Games in my DIRECTV TV package.

Looks like $149 for Out of Market package
+ $20 per month for the Local team(s).

I think the Indians only package was $99

Corrrect me if I am wrong but MLB.tv is subject to the blackout restrictions. I believe the Bally / Fandual is not bound by that and can be used in the "local" market

If that's the case, then $20 a month to watch your in-market team doesn't seem too bad. But do you have to have an Amazon Prime subscription on top of that?

That is a Good Question.

I would presume you would need a Prime Sub, unfortunately.

Are there any other things you can watch on Prime, without a Sub ?
I have a Sub, so I don't know.

Yes.

If Bruce is correct (I think he is), that adds another $9-15 to the cost of that $20 a month cost.

Only if you are only using your Amazon Prime subscription to get the local RSN. There is a lot more to a Prime subscription though.

Are you saying you can get the local RSN without an Amazon Sub ?

Thats what we were trying to determine.

Do we have a confirmation either way yet ?

Not from Amazon. What I meant is there are other benefits to Amazon Prime like free shipping, Amazon Prime video, Amazon Gaming, Amazon music etc…

I can get the Cardinals RSN directly from Fanduel this season for the same price ($19.99) as the Amazon offer. Probably depends on where you live if it is available there for your local team.

1. Your Benefits of Free Shipping, is NOT FREE, its part of the Amazon SUB.
2. Amazon is not offering the service, they are simply a place to get it. They pass on what they get from MLB.TV I would imagine, I don't believe they have anything to do with Producing the games.

Are you sure about that? I follow the Cardinals and the article(s) I saw said you have the find the Fanduel app through Amazon.

Fans can access the Cardinals' new direct-to-consumer streaming option through FanDuel Sports Network or Amazon Prime

This is how I understood it to be as well, you could get it either way.

Fan Dual is the Provider, Amazon just is a Pass thru
