Episode Synopsis

Major League Baseball (MLB) has secured a new three-year media rights agreement, generating nearly $800 million annually. This deal marks a significant shift in broadcasting, with Netflix, ESPN, and NBC (via Peacock) now involved. Netflix will air the first game, Home Run Derby, and the MLB at Field of Dreams game. ESPN loses postseason games and Home Run Derby but gains out-of-market streaming rights. NBC and Peacock will broadcast Sunday Night Baseball and the wild-card round. The league aims to broaden its reach and offer fans more viewing options, moving away from regional sports networks.DNN | The Daily News Now!The world’s first global local news network.Every city.
