As you may have heard, a federal lawsuit filed against Major League Baseball by fans upset with the league’s blackout rules has been settled just as the trial was about to start. Originally filed back in 2012, the class-action suit claimed MLB was violating antitrust regulations by keeping fans from being able to watch their favorite team’s games, particularly where the online streaming through MLB.TV was involved.
It had been reported a while back that MLB would be moving to more of an unbundled product, similar to what other professional sports leagues offer, but there had been no mention of pricing and other specifics.
