MLB Swung and Missed at a Giant Opportunity To Serve Local Playoff Hungry Fans
"MLB has spent years talking about the importance of growing the game, reaching younger audiences and making baseball easier to watch. That mission doesn't begin with finding another streaming subscriber during the postseason." The post MLB Swung and Missed at a Giant Opportunity To Serve Local Playoff Hungry Fans appeared first on Barrett Media.
The Chicago White Sox, Cubs, Astros and Padres playoff games will be behind a paywall for some fans, despite being available for free on local over-the-air television. This represents a missed opportunity for MLB to increase accessibility during a crucial time in the season. Other sports leagues, like the NFL, have successfully implemented similar strategies, allowing fans to watch their local teams without additional fees.
MLB should learn from these examples and make the postseason more accessible to its most passionate fans.
