The impending death of Bally Sports

I did not have that experience at all. I was a customer for something like 20 years, mostly due to Sunday Ticket. When I cut with them last year, I found it quite easy.  Strangely, I had way more trouble trying to get my parents setup with them. LOL!

Me too, but that wasn't my experience. Good for you. It was truly awful. They got way to expensive, at least where I live, and what I wanted. When the weather got bad it wouldn't work. We finally got fiber so I was out in a heartbeat. Love it. It rocks. My fiber is cheap and I cheat for everything else now.

What you do need to watch out for...

ESPN games are random nights, but are exclusive so won't be on MLB.TV (or they may be with a cable subscription with ESPN).

Peacock has a bunch of games. Those won't be on MLB.TV. The first round of the playoffs is also on Peacock.

There are still Friday Apple games. Probably 4-6 Tigers games there.

I don't think Fox or TBS regular season games are exclusive.

If the Tigers main broadcast is MLB, will the games be live for people living in the Detroit market? Several other teams main broadcast last season was on MLB, I wonder if they could watch live games?

I'm hoping the Tigers put their games on a station that charges money but presents a scrambled flickering screen that you can fix if you become adept at fiddling with the horizontal-vertical knobs. Maybe air some soft-core nudity when the Tigers and Red Wings have the day off.  Like IT-tv and ON-tv around 1980. 

I used to get a UHF channel, I think it was in the 60', out of Canada , that occasionally had topless women movies on. And yes, it was all snowy and flickering. But a good imagination made it crystal clear. 😆
