Royals Rumblings - News for August 26, 2019
Jeffrey Flanagan had a number of interesting stories over the weekend, including the fact that the Royals are close to agreement on a new television deal.
An offer from FSKC was presented in May, according to sources. A new deal, likely in the 10- to 15-year range, is expected to bring the Royals somewhere near the $48-52 million range per year in rights fees.
The Royals’ present 11-year deal with FSKC, which expires after this season, was backloaded and will bring the Royals about $25 million this season, though its average annually was closer to $20 million.
