No blackouts for local fans
(CINCINNATI) – Local Reds fans will be able to watch games without blackouts this coming season.
Major League Baseball announced Thursday that it will produce and distribute Reds games.
It follows the Reds ending their relationship with Diamond Sports Group and FanDuel Sports Network (formerly Bally Sports Ohio) last week.
The new arrangement will give more local Reds fans the opportunity to watch games on television or to stream digitally with no blackouts for locally distributed games.
"Partnering with Major League Baseball ensures a bright future for our televised game coverage," said Phil Castellini, Reds President and CEO. "This collaboration provides fans with unprecedented access to Reds games, including direct-to-consumer streaming with no blackouts, while maintaining traditional cable and satellite TV options. And, having MLB's production expertise and resources behind every Reds game broadcast ensures our fans will have a quality viewing experience."
MLB has similar arrangements with other teams including Cleveland, Milwaukee and Minnesota.
