Wyandotte Connex (via. Detroit Red Wings Discord)
Its also going to be its own streaming platform right?
IPTV carries it.
In Farmington Hills, Spectrum cable has it at 291. No actual programming yet, just a blue screen with chyron.
This is getting ridiculous that the season starts on Thursday and most don’t even know if they will be able to watch games.
This is confusing. Can I watch using MLB.TV in Wisconsin?
DirecTV Stream, and I presume DirecTV as well, has confirmed this. It will be available on channel 663, which is currently occupied by Fanduel.

C’mon Fubo!!!
I’m in central Michigan with spectrum and neither 213 or 291 are showing up for me.
I have my doubts it’s going to be on YouTube TV since they only have the NBC branded RSNs in California, Boston and Philadelphia.
Stinks but I’m not surprised that’s the likely outcome.
Any word on WOW?
The streaming service I use has the MLB channels but I haven’t been able to actually find the tigers games when they play.
They are not in the Bally or Fanduel channels, and I can’t find aSpirtsnet Detroit channel yet.
How are people watching these games?
I don’t even know if I’ll be able to watch opening day at this point. I’ve subbed to DSN through MLBtv and haven’t been able to watch any games besides the free ones.
