All this is BS greed!! I used to be able to watch the Braves free on WTBS and then with more technology, I had to pay for it. All this streaming shit is gonna end up costing everyone more and more. We have the technology to watch the games on our phones, but at what price?
Oh, and the local blackout is complete BS, too. Years ago I went round and round with DirectTV cause they'd blackout the Vikings games. This was before the local channels were offered on DirecTV. And right now....CBS is fueding with DirectTV and its been shut off for a month!!! Fn greedy bastards!
The technology is here. We could watch any game on the planet, but the big companies want to squeeze every dime they can out you 1st. Even the popular TV channels are all offering an App to watch their premium content.
Oh, and just when you think you got the right combination of streaming services, apps, cable, or satellite, THEYLL CHANGE IT AND WANT MORE $$$$
