Prime Video To Become Primary Streaming Partner For RSNs

After acquiring stake in Diamond Sports, Amazon's Prime Video will be where you can subscribe to/watch local teams that are normally shown on Bally Sports.

Under this arrangement, Prime Video will become Diamond’s primary partner through which customers will be able to purchase direct-to-consumer (DTC) access to stream local Diamond channels. Customers will be able to access all local DTC content, including live MLB, NBA and NHL games, and pre- and post-game programming, for the teams for which Diamond retains DTC rights, through Prime Video Channels. Additional details regarding pricing and availability will be announced at a later date. In addition, Diamond looks forward to continuing to partner with its existing MVPD distribution partners to broadcast its MLB, NBA and NHL content.

This is great if it’s completely included in the cost of Prime still, but most likely it’s going to be a tack on price

I just want to be able to stream Astros games within the local market.

Yeah Prime Video has added commercials to movie unless you pay a few bucks extra so no way is a sports package going to be included in the base membership.

The Cardinals own their streaming rights, Bally's doesn't. I'm guessing they're not the only MLB team set up that way.

So yeah...still gonna have to pay extra. Interested to see how this is going to go and how much it will cost. When it was going to be Bally (without mlb) charging for access via the app the sports south and southeast were going to be separate charges which screws braves fans since games are basically 50/50. Again though that access directly through bally didn't include the Braves to my knowledge it always required the cable package for Braves for whatever reason.

That's how it was in St Louis. You could get a streaming only package for the Blues but you had to have a cable package to be able to stream the Cardinals.
I think it has to do with the general MLB streaming rights, but I don't know for certain.
Whatever the case is, the product is going to be both worse and more expensive, so that's cool.

I don’t pay for Bally’s at all. I get mob.tv for free each year from T-Mobile and use a VPN to watch Braves games. I have never needed to buy my local rsn’s and refuse to do so.

If this goes through I'll probably end up ponying up for Reds games.

Rumor it is only for 5 teams this year.
Tigers, royals, Brewers, rays, and Marlins.
Everything else will still be on Bally for one more year at least
