MLB is already reacting to this crunch and is, per the Sports Business Journal, negotiating with distributors in those three markets to carry Astros, Pirates, and Rockies games. However, Comcast, operator of the NBC Sports RSNs and a distributor in the three most affected markets, will not be taking over the AT&T SportsNet RSNs

MLB is already reacting to this crunch and is, per the Sports Business Journal, negotiating with distributors in those three markets to carry Astros, Pirates, and Rockies games. However, Comcast, operator of the NBC Sports RSNs and a distributor in the three most affected markets, will not be taking over the AT&T SportsNet RSNs

Even after the AT&T SportsNet RSNs shut down in Denver, Houston and Pittsburgh, an MLB source said that local fans in those markets still will be able to watch games on linear TV and, likely, streaming. MLB is prepared to produce pre- and post-game shows around those local games. Comcast’s Xfinity has systems in Denver, Houston and Pittsburgh, and it owns six NBC Sports-branded RSNs in markets where it is the dominant cable system. But sources said Comcast has no interest in expanding into AT&T SportsNet’s markets.
