The team or the crowd? Or both?
I have friends in Des Moines who are die hard Royals fans. That's gotta be at least as far away from KC as St. Louis is from Peoria. Heck, even I was a Royals fan the year they went all the way!

Both. I was happy for the city in 2015 when they won the WS but I knew they'd get right back to suckin' the following year (and they did).
Dish, by not carrying the channels in the first place, not lowering the package prices to reflect that, and not giving automatic refunds to subscribers unless you called to complain.
Not to be confused with the much later Sports Time Ohio channel, just in case anyone was wondering. Although that earlier Sports Time channel also carried some Cleveland Indians games.
Not nearly as huge as that old Sports Time channel's territory, though. It was available as far west as Colorado, and as far east as West Virginia. And it still folded after only one season.

Your friends in Iowa are in the MLB sweet spot. They get 6 teams! When I still had Dish I "lived" in Council Bluffs so I could get all 6. Plus that DMA (Omaha) has 2 or 3 PBS nets IIRC.
It’s a good idea, but there are many customers (mostly djsh customers) who would go without regional sports, even for an additional charge.
Lots of older customers think regional sports should be included in their package at no charge

I know some people who would switch to Dish from cable or DirecTV if they get RSNs back.
Well looks like Sinclair is losing some folks. Sinclair Broadcast Group Trims Workforce By 5% Due To Impact Of Covid-19 (yahoo.com)
I would not bet or gamble on Dish restoring the RSN’s. However if they did get them back, it will be like winning the jackpot. I would wager that Charlie is not going to carry them anymore.
I'll add to that. The idea that they be bundled with locals to get DISH to take them back is the polar opposite of what has to happen to get DISH to reconsider. Short of drastically cutting their cost RSN's have to be A la Carte, period.
The Fox Branding should be ending soon, YES now has a stand alone app. Fox Sports Go should be ending soon.
All those nice shirts the broadcasters are wearing during spring training will all have to be replaced.
YES isn't changing their branding, just the fully owned networks.All those nice shirts the broadcasters are wearing during spring training will all have to be replaced.
I think they still use that for FS1, Big 10 Networks if games are running late, etc
There are two apps, because there are two companies.
The Fox Sports app really belongs to Fox and carries things on the networks that Fox still owns, OTA Fox, FS1, FS2, Big 10 Network, Fox Deportes.
The Fox Sports Go app actually belongs to Sinclair and carries material from your local Fox branded RSN. When the FSN is rebranded, it will be updated to Bally's Sports Go.
Justed booted the app. It looks like all the Fox networks are still on it.
