Major League Baseball Releases Webcasting Plans

Posted by chrisd on from the bring-back-the-mbone dept.

TopShelf writes "With spring in the air, it's time to discuss the (US) national pastime. According to this story at CNN, Major League Baseball is planning to webcast 1,000 games this season. The interesting part is that in order not to violate TV blackout rules, they'll try to deny service to viewers who instead have local broadcasts available, using Quova's user-location service. At last, an opportunity to see my hometown Detroit Tigers more than once a year!"

    You arent missing anything by not catching the tiger games. I can recap all 182 of their games last year for you - "Tigers Lose" - Copy that into notepad and paste it 181 times and you'll have the 2002 tiger report.
