MLB is the absolute worst, like they really are actively trying to make it impossible to watch your home team. Really easy to watch every out-of-market team, though.
In the Kansas City market you get one game a week and it’s a random game on Saturdays. Not really interested in the MLB but it’s so ridiculous to me that if I was I’d have to get like 3 different subscriptions. But we don’t get anything but golf, nascar, and NFL in this market on TV. And the rare NBA game around Christmas and then some of the finals stuff.
Sounds similar to here in Minnesota/the Dakotas. For as popular as hockey is up here they could at least air an NHL game or two on non-cable TV, but nope. We’re at the mercy of a literally bankrupt and dying RSN that carries every non-NFL pro league and has priced itself out of most cable, satellite and streaming carriers. It should almost literally be illegal for the Twins, Wolves, Lynx and Wild to ALL be on the same channel (Bally Sports North) that most people in the market can’t even watch because no providers in their area can afford to carry it.
Yeah that’s pretty ridiculous. In the KC market the Royals (MLB) are only on Fox Sports (in some like KC specific package), Chiefs are on broadcast tv, Sporting (MLS) is only on Apple TV I think now. We have no NHL or NBA team but those are all on various cable channels and/or ESPN plus.
More and more stuff is forced onto cable (like almost all of March Madness was only on cable tv). And of course all the stuff split out onto streaming stuff. It’s such a shitshow and only getting worse.
They really keep trying to make the NFL harder to watch every year. Eventually pirate streams will be the easiest way to watch.
Have to make it impossible to watch like MLB, MLS, NHL or NBA.

It already is. Easy PIP, everything in one place. Some streams cut commercials out. I very rarely pay for sports coverage anymore.
