The Angels finally have a plan for where fans can watch games this season, but apparently, it doesn\u2019t include spring training.<\/p>\n
Orange County Register beat writer Jeff Fletcher reported Wednesday that the team won\u2019t show any Cactus League games on television this spring. That means Angels games will be available on the MLB app when opponents choose to broadcast them, but the team itself isn\u2019t producing any spring training telecasts.<\/p>\n
The Angels announced Feb. 10<\/a> that they were partnering with MLB to stream games directly to in-market fans through the league\u2019s direct-to-consumer platform \u2014 the same setup most other teams that left FanDuel Sports Network<\/a> are using. But Fletcher\u2019s update indicates that details are still being worked out regarding cable distribution.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are still working out the details of the regular season TV,\u201d Fletcher wrote. \u201cThey will be streamed via MLB and cable TBD.\u201d<\/p>\n The Angels will not be showing any Cactus League games on television. They will show the Freeway Series from SoCal.<\/p>\n They are still working out the details of the regular season TV.

Then reports surfaced that they were also exploring launching their own network<\/a>, which would require buying out Main Street Sports\u2019 stake in their joint venture first. It would also require the Angels to facilitate production for their own broadcasts, rather than relying on the league\u2019s apparatus. Sports Business Journal reported in early February<\/a> that the Angels had asked MLB for more time before deciding whether to join the league\u2019s centralized media operation.<\/p>\n Most Main Street teams moved to MLB production and distribution immediately. The Brewers, Marlins, Rays, Royals, Cardinals, Reds, and Tigers all announced their plans within days of terminating their Main Street contracts. The Braves went a different direction, exploring the launch of their own regional sports network<\/a> similar to what the Rangers did<\/a> after leaving Main Street\u2019s predecessor, Diamond Sports Group.<\/p>\n
