MLB-DirecTV deal strikes out with diehard fans

July 11th, 2007

Major League Baseball is close to a deal that would shift its Extra Innings package exclusively to DirecTV, a satellite television provider, starting in April. The package, which allows fans to watch out-of-market games for a fee, would move off cable television and satellite competitor Dish Network for at least the next seven seasons. DirecTV has agreed to pay $700 million for exclusive rights.
