The deal is similar in nature to those that became commonplace in the NBA during Diamond\u2019s bankruptcy proceedings, where franchises can simulcast a limited number of games each season on local over-the-air affiliates in its regional footprint.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Atlanta #Braves Partner with Gray Media to Simulcast 15 Regular Season Games: pic.twitter.com\/uB8JgXqTx1<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Atlanta Braves (@Braves) December 18, 2024<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the release, the simulcast games will expand the Braves\u2019 reach to 15 million homes and span to markets as far as Memphis, Nashville, and Charlotte. The deal also gives Gray exclusive rights to broadcast 10 spring training games.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">More info: https:\/\/t.co\/vvIkCnhYY3<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Atlanta Braves (@Braves) December 18, 2024<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Gray Media to offer our fans more opportunities to watch a simulcast of certain games and access our content all across the Southeast,\u201d said Atlanta Braves President &amp; CEO Derek Schiller in the announcement. \u201cThis partnership makes Braves baseball even more accessible, allowing fans throughout Braves Country the ability to watch in a way that best suits them, whether that is on cable, local TV, or streaming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the Braves now able to simulcast a limited number of games it begs the question: do the other MLB franchises inked to deals with Diamond have similar carve-outs in their contracts to do the same? Diamond will broadcast six MLB teams other than the Braves next season. Those teams are the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals and Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n<p>If those teams are able to do the same thing, it\u2019s a win for fans who will get more accessible access to games. It\u2019ll be interesting to see whether other teams slated to air on Diamond\u2019s RSNs next season will follow suit, or if the Braves were given a special exception.<\/p>\n<p>[Atlanta Braves]<\/p>\n<h2>Recent Posts<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<h3>Award winner Ezra Edelman says current state of sports documentaries \u2018border on branded content\u2019<\/h3>\n<\/header>\n<section>With more sports documentaries hitting the scene than ever before, Ezra Edelman has observed a shift in the medium.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Braves have reached a deal with Gray Media that will see 15 games simulcast on local over-the-air affiliates next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":19316,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
