Fox most likely to get the Angels

C

CaliRadioFan

MLB has walked away from FanDuel across the country. For Los Angeles, this means Fox is most likely to get the Angels starting this season. They have the cash on hand, not promises which may or not be kept. It will be far less, but it's money MLB will get for certain. Victory Plus may even get local streaming rights.

The problem is that most MLB games are at night, and most OTA stations have commitments for their evening programming.

Especially in LA. Even KTLA has to carry a lot of CW programming.
 
God no Victory Minus!!!!!

That's what KCOP-13 (errr FOX11+) is for. KCOP is beholden to zero network programming these days.

I see the opposite. MLB is taking over all TV rights once all current contracts expire in 2028. This has already been proposed, if not officially announced. MLB and their teams need cash to (over)pay the players' exorbitant salaries. If they don't get lots of it, MLB will be forced to shut down because they can't pay their players. They won't get it from ticket sales alone. TV money is what they've been living on for decades, and they no longer can justify charging stations and networks for a sport that is on the decline at the Major League level.

network tv money is what they’ve been living on for decades. Local RSNs never came close to what networks offered. MLB will still need OTA tv for *some* games. They know dang well no one will buy their overinflated streaming packages in 2028
