Angels Will Not Televise Spring Training, Drawing Criticism From MLB Analysts

Overview

• The team confirmed it will not produce any spring training telecasts this year.
• Fans must depend on opponent broadcasts via the MLB app or listen on radio, with the Dodgers’ Freeway Series as the only televised exception in Southern California.
• The Angels announced on Feb. 10 a partnership with MLB to stream regular-season games to in-market viewers, though cable carriage details are still being finalized.
• Ken Rosenthal and Alanna Rizzo criticized the move for keeping the product away from fans and undercutting spring’s promotional value, with Rizzo suggesting cost-cutting as a possibility.
• The broadcast uncertainty stems from January’s collapse of a Main Street Sports–DAZN deal that disrupted several teams’ regional TV arrangements.
