Good morning, baseball fans.
As if we needed another reason to be annoyed with MLB, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced this week that Apple TV will be partnering with MLB on an exclusive streaming deal, which will see two Friday night games per week featured on Apple TV’s streaming service, essentially removing access to those games from people already paying for all of their local team’s games. This is reportedly only one of multiple broadcasting deals MLB is set to announce once there are actual games to be broadcast. Apple forced their hands by announcing it themselves, and honestly, at this point, good for them for not buying into the spin machine.
