Though still separated by a parking lot at the stadium complex in South Philadelphia, the Flyers and Phillies got a bit closer digitally on Tuesday.
The National Hockey League and Major League Baseball Advanced Media Tuesday announced a six-year, $600 million deal under which the baseball league's technology subsidiary will run the operations of the hockey league's TV network, and the websites and other digital platforms of the league and its 30 teams, including the Flyers.
The NHL and its teams will retain control of the content on the TV network and websites.
The Phillies' website and online ticketing operation is run through MLBAM or its subsidiaries.
