Are they trolling us? Why is Aaron Judge the background image for the launch of Twins.TV?

Question.  Just signed up.  It mentioned minor league games.  Does that mean I will be able to watch all Twins affiliate games?

[KirbyHawk75]

Also if YouTubeTV gets it I will have to pay higher there and also twins.tv?

YouTube TV (paid sub) doesn't stream games, though YouTube (free) does.

I'm not sure if those are considered "nationally broadcast", though I don't *think* they are.

The prior question was if Youtube TV adds a tier to include sports, or finds a way to broadcast it (like they once did with BSN)...though that doesn't seem likely the way they're marketing this so far.

I'm old. How can I watch on my TV? We have Xfinity.

Ah, I see. It's pure speculation on my part but I doubt YouTube TV will carry this channel. They seem to have bowed out of sports almost entirely.

It will be on a different channel, probably called Twins.TV. The channel will be blank for most of the day, firing up about half an hour before game time and shutting back down half an hour after game time.

So will I pay for it thru Xfinity like  premium channel? If so do I then not have to sign up thru the Twins?

I suspect it will be on the same tier as FanDuel (Bally's) and probably be on a channel right next to it. That's how it is for DirecTV with the Rockies, D-Backs etc. Unfortunately, they are unlikely to announce anything until a few days before Opening Day, so likely few/no Spring Training games.

It should be on the same Xfinity channel tier as Bally Sports/Fan Duel. I'm not an Xfinity sub so I can't tell you what tier that is but I assume it's some sort of sports tier that's $10-15/mo.

It's on their top tier of channels.

So now they're trolling fans of all other teams, with a player who is booed everywhere.
