“We have been contingency planning to ensure that no matter what happens with the (regional sports networks), fans will be able to continue watching their favorite teams in their local market,” said Noah Garden, MLB chief revenue officer.
DSG could also offer teams a stake in the restructured company, which could surface as early as May or June.
Besides the Guardians, DSG holds RSNs with Arizona, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Detroit, Minnesota, Los Angeles Angels, St. Louis, San Diego, Tampa Bay and Texas. It also has a minority stake with the Cubs’ Marquee Network and Yankees’ Yes Network. If DSG is unable to pay teams, MLB is prepared to step in and fulfill fans’ expectations by producing and delivering games on TV and digitally. MLB has been live streaming games since 2002, and its digital platform should allow teams to broadcast games as scheduled.
There could be a few glitches because so much would go into handling that many games. In the 2022 season, however, MLB.TV registered over 11.5 billion minutes watched by fans. Five of the most watched games ever took place in 2022. MLB certainly has the infrastructure to do this if DSG has to punt.
