With ‘MLB Opening Night,' Netflix Is Messing With the Wrong Fans
Netflix has acquired the rights to broadcast the Major League Baseball opening night game between the New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants, but the game will be blacked out in the teams' local markets. This move has sparked controversy among fans, particularly in the New York area, who will not be able to watch the game on their local YES Network cable station.
Netflix will broadcast the MLB opening night game between the Yankees and Giants. The game will be blacked out in local markets, including New York City, where the YES Network normally airs Yankees games. Yankees fans in the tristate area will not be able to watch the game unless they have a Netflix subscription. The YES Network will air the second game of the season on Friday instead. The game will be available on radio, including on WFAN in the New York area. Netflix's involvement in baseball has raised the profile of the game, but some fans are unhappy with the blackout.
