MLB to produce, distribute Padres games starting today

The shoe (guillotine?) has finally dropped on the exceedingly unstable relationship between the bankrupt Bally’s Sports/Sinclair Broadcast Group and Major League Baseball: MLB to produce, distribute Padres games starting today

As an MLB.tv subscriber and Braves fan, this whole Bally-hoo has of course had me generally interested in what will happen with all this. Pleasantly surprised (and interested in the legal/contractural details) that MLB was able to keep the Padres’ announcing crew for the new broadcasts. (via Six Colors)

I’d love to meet the person at Pfizer who thought Stephen A Smith was the right person to hire to do podcast ads for Covid boosters. (Props to Smith for doing them though.)

Lol. But actually a smart move assuming they roll this type of content into whatever HBO Max is consuming.

CNN+, the streaming service that was hyped as one of the most signifiant developments in the history of CNN, will shut down on April 30, just one month after it launched.

I kinda want to sign up now just to say I was one of the 35 people (along with @jsnell@zeppelin.flights) that can tell their grandkids I was a CNN+ subscriber.
