Baseball may be big on tradition — but that could change.
Major League Baseball is discovering the upside of streaming and moving away from a pay-TV-focused model, according to some league insiders.
The prospect for change is happening because MLB’s current contract with 22 Fox regional sports networks expires at year-end. As part of that deal, each RSN pays the league $2 million for those streaming rights.
Disney is in the process of selling the 22 RSNs as a condition of its $71 billion deal to buy the majority of Twenty-First Century Fox entertainment assets.
