Major League Baseball has announced that it will launch a landmark pair of in-market subscription products in July that will include Yankees on YES which is to bring live games online. This launch will be the only live in-market streaming products in professional sports to include games with local broadcast television deals.
Major League Baseball owned MLB network has already signed a partnership agreement with the YES Network and Cablevision to provide eligible Cablevision customers throughout the Yankees home broadcasting territory.
Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig said “These agreements are an important part of our global effort to give fans greater access to our game, it is important that fans in local markets have portable flexibility to stay connected to their favorite team if they can’t be at the ballpark, and I believe this represents a significant step in that direction.”
