I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s and living in Wichita, KS we could view a dozen or fewer games a year on TV. Then the explosion of regional sports networks in the new millennium allowed us to see almost every KC Royals contest during the spring and summer.
As technology and other viewing platforms developed, many people have cut out dealing with cable companies and the high monthly bills associated with them. An issue that has begun to affect these choices though, is that streaming services like Sling, Hulu, YouTube TV, etc. each must reach agreements with organizations like Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc.
