Why Amazon could bebest for streaming sports
If you’ve been frustrated with your options for watching your favorite sports team on a Bally Sports RSN, there is some promising news for the months ahead.
Amazon has stepped in to help streamers regain some control over access to their favorite sports teams’ games.
In the coming months, we can expect Bally Sports content to become available via Amazon Prime Video.
While we don’t have pricing or a timeline for availability just yet, this announcement is promising news for many sports fans across the country.
If you’re paying for cable just to see the Atlanta Braves or another team play baseball games, for example, you may have a path to saving money by cutting the cord as soon as this upcoming season.
And if you’re paying for a live TV streaming service that is charging you nearly $100 or more per month to access your Bally Sports RSN, you may be able to drop that service for a more cost-effective live streamer and get your RSN through Amazon’s Prime Video Channels.
Though no official announcement has been made, it’s likely that these local games could be made available via a la carte subscription on the Amazon platform.
The Prime Video platform, an exclusive home to the NFL’s Thursday
Night Football broadcast, is widely regarded as one of the best video streaming service apps on the market.
Access to most of
Prime Video’s content is included with an Amazon Prime subscription, but my best guess is that these Bally Sports RSNs are likely to carry an additional cost as a “Prime Channels” add-on.
