Spring Training TV Schedule?

[rickybeathard]

Do we have a schedule of which games will be radio only vs. televised? Sorry if I am asking something that has already been answered.

Guessing that is announced this week

Speaking of TV.  With Bally going bankrupt,  is there a chance another network picks up the Twins?  I have youtubetv and really want to watch them.

Not until someone buys out the contracts from Sinclair. AFAIK they're making the payments to MLB, just not making payments to the banks.

Thanks for posting this. Saves a lot of people the trouble of finding it ourselves.

Did anybody sign up for the MLB.tv service for spring? How many of the Twins spring training games were you able to watch? Was considering doing that for the games since Bally doesn't cover a ton of the spring slate. Also are spring training games subject to black out for Minneapolis area as well on the MLB.tv app?

Last year I had MLB.tv and was able to watch all of the games designated for TV broadcast. But I also live in Wisconsin, so I'm not sure if the black out applies to spring training games.

I signed up for the spring training package, BSNO will be televising their first game on March 1st V's the Phillies. There is only 2 other games of the Twins before then via NBCSP and NESN. I live in Australia, don't know how/if that effects mlb.tv blackouts

I'm in MN and have the MLB.tv package which incudes Spring Training games. Today's game was not blacked out... BUT it was the Phillies broadcast, not BSN. Don't know if that makes a difference.

Spring training games do not get blacked out.

Last I heard is if Bally does not pay the teams, MLB expects the teams to opt out, and then they said at worst MLB will stream the games.  To my knowledge they cannot plan to do that, until Twins opt out of contract for breech.  Also, not sure if bankruptcy court could block the opt out.  Normally, once it is filed, creditors, that being Twins, cannot seek to be paid, but not sure if contract allows for opt out under same situation. MLB seems to think they will be able to though.
