Yeah, that sounds wrong.Will be interesting to see how it plays out. I'm not sure I like the sound of "Amazon Sports Midwest"

Did anybody notice during the World Series that they made tons of references to AWS (Amazon) and used their stat services extensively? Wonder if there is any connection there...
A few years ago when I learned they had ownership in Root, the light bulb went on for why they
can make a profit with filling only 20K seats.
If team ownership doesn't invest more in the team, then they'll never improve. Think of the Cubs. They were horrible for what, 100 years until finally some new owners went out and bought themselves a team that could play.
Sort of the same with Mariners. For years they were owned by Nintendo which treated the team like
an expense on the annual report. Nintendo sold to local owners a few years ago and the team is
still trying to recover. They have the worst minor league in baseball.
One possible scenario is that next season it will be possible to stream in-market MLB games through the MLB.TV app two ways: by authenticating with a cable TV package that includes the relevant sports network (as has been the case recently) OR by subscribing directly through MLB.TV (the way you're already able to do with out-of-market games). Just depends how those new contracts get negotiated.
Once subscribers drop and drop...the cash flow stops

Pretty sure that contract is for the national broadcasts and not the FS RSNs. The Fox contract already allows MLB.TV to stream the games to its subscribers, this contract should extend that. The RSN local broadcast contracts are the ones that require the local team blackouts. MLB has told the teams that when those contracts come up they need retain streaming rights to eliminate the blackouts.
Right now the only national broadcasts that are blacked out are the Sunday night games.
They pretty much do with NHL.TV and MLB.TV as both are owned by the respective league. The NHL contracts with MLB media to actually manage the servers and streaming for NHL.TV.
Yes you can FF through the between innings and pitching change commercials. I've got it down pretty well as each between innings pause is 2 minutes.
You mean pick and choose teams? If you buy the whole package, yes. If you order the single team package, then you'd just choose the team you want to watch and only those games would be authorized.
IMO, one of the BEST features (and most underrated) of MLB.tv is the ability to overlay the radio broadcast while watching a game. I cannot stand to listen to most of our team's video broadcasters. I like the guys on the radio broadcast. You can choose to listen to them instead of the video guys. Or you can listen to an open stadium mic.
I used to do this a lot whenever the Cardinals would play the Dodgers so I could listen to Vin Scully.

That's helpful,thanks
I don't need to have former player explain to me what I just saw. Especially if he's a "homer".
Long before that. I watched the last Woodstock, live, streaming, although it lagged a lot. In 1996, Edenfest in Toronto, a 3 day concert, streamed live, also
