While it was previously reported that the Braves were not planning to join MLB.tv, the interesting new development is that both the Braves and Angles may looked to NBA teams to bolster their ability to run their own network.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Angles\u2019 angle is slightly different, by possibly looking to buy the regional network, and in doing so would look to add the Sacramento Kings to that venture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For the Braves, who are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterypower.com\/atlanta-braves-news\/125672\/braves-expected-to-launch-their-own-tv-network-per-report\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly looking to start their own network<\/a>, it is the Atlanta Hawks with whom the Braves would look to add to their new entity, although the article does point out that in the case of the Braves and Hawks, it is believed that the Hawks would only be involved as content and not a partner in the network itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is still a fluid situation, with approximately seven weeks until the start of the MLB regular season, allowing for some time for the Braves\u2019 2026 broadcast plan to be put into fruition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">MSSG will continue to broadcast NBA and NHL games through the end of this current season, but with all nine MLB teams having opted out of their agreement it seems baseball will not move forward on MSSG regional networks even if MSSG is able to find a buyer &#8211; something it had thus far failed to do, resulting in the situations several dozen professional teams find themselves in currently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This update was first covered on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterypower.com\/post\/ckjfIobHBkh0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Feed <\/a>earlier this morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Friend of Sports Business Journal has reported a new possible twist in the on-going saga of Main&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":557858,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2394],"tags":[191,46,4206,4166,5,192,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-557857","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-atlanta-braves","8":"tag-atlanta","9":"tag-atlanta-braves","10":"tag-atlanta-braves-news","11":"tag-atlantabraves","12":"tag-baseball","13":"tag-braves","14":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116023957465070061","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=557857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/557858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=557857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=557857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
