@RyanDivish @tbailey1976 @TheRoller59 @TyDaneGonzalez Sorry I didn’t mean when root went to a higher plan. I’m saying when the Ms announced they left root. I had the Xfinity unlimited plan just for root and downgraded when root was gone in Dec. Is the plan to have this mystery channel be on the unlimited plan as well
English
I've been told that if you watched games on ROOT via a cable provider last year, you will be able to watch them again this year. The exact channel isn't known yet.
I've also been told that MLB and the cable companies might not announce the programming package/channel till the morning of opening day.
Why? Cause they know it doesn't matter, you'll still pay and watch.

@RyanDivish Have you heard any rumblings about how cable/satellite users will be able to watch games this season? It's a week until opening day and still no announcement.

@RyanDivish @tbailey1976 @TheRoller59 @TyDaneGonzalez I think a number of people who had root as part of their Xfinity package had it removed when they announced that root was leaving and games would be broadcast on local programming. Are you saying the plan is to place it on the higher tier Xfinity plan?

@SamDmsc @tfabulous1313 They've said from the very beginning ... if you watched the games on cable last year, you will be able to watch them in the same way. The $99 rate very clearly says streaming. This isn' t a grift.

@RyanDivish @tfabulous1313 My parents are in Helena. They have Spectrum, as their cable company. They are thinking that they have to pay $99 to watch the games.

With the bases loaded, Cal Raleigh just plastered a ball off the batter's eye. Unlike most places, there's no yellow line, so he didn't get a grand slam. It's a three-run double
English
@SamDmsc @tfabulous1313 The Mariners don't have the information either. That's what i've been trying to relay to you. They would announce it if they could. Instead, they have to wait for clearance from MLB.
English
@RyanDivish @tfabulous1313 We’re now less than a week from opening day, and the clarity from MLB and the M’s are lacking.
English
@PuckSports Has Idaho scored since I made the bet? Time to go get a free ice cream cone at Dairy Queen.
English
@tbailey1976 @TheRoller59 @TyDaneGonzalez Did you watch them last year on Xfinity? Cause if you did, you paid more.
English
@SamDmsc @tfabulous1313 There is no information to provide for a statement. Also why would non cord-cutters pay the $99 for streaming?
English
@tfabulous1313 @RyanDivish To be fair, the team has said that there would be a channel on local cable providers. The issue is the clarity to the fans. The M’s need to put out a statement! Not @RyanDivish. Fans need a statement from the team!

@nicolecarolee it doesn't list Mariners TV though. It lists a bunch of national channels that they could play on.
English
YouTube TV has been battling with multiple sports networks in the past. If other teams like the Padres, D'Backs and others under the MLB umbrella for production and distribution weren't on YouTube TV last year or this year, then the Mariners won't be either. .

@RyanDivish I had ROOT with FUBO last season. I switched to YOUTUBETV because I couldn’t watch Olympics and Super Bowl on FUBO. YTTV didn’t carry ROOT last year. Nobody can tell me if they’ll carry the M’s this season. Probably need to get Mariners.tv thru MLB
English
@SamDmsc @tfabulous1313 They wanted to provide some information, MLB wouldn't allow it.
English
@nicolecarolee YouTube TV doesn't even carry MLB Network and hasn't carried team's RSN's in the past. Since it's a full streaming provider and not a cable or satellite provider, MLB would rather have people just their app and subs.
English
@RyanDivish Here is the link: mlb.com/mariners/news/… There must have also been a press release because this information was also broadly published on King 5, Fox 13, Seattle Sports etc.
English
@nicolecarolee Yeah, this was published in January. It speaks in general about all providers. None of those rights deals had been negotiated with the providers at that point.
English
@SamDmsc @RyanDivish So everyone that received that email about it buying the $99 season pass didn’t have to? WTF?!!!
English
@TridentTrue @RyanDivish I live in Oakland and have been on MLB.TV for years. I think that still works for us M’s fans outside the PNW
English
To anyone confused about how to watch the Mariners this year, it should be in the same cable package that you used last year. Still not super clear yet, but not the M’s fault. They’re waiting on more info from the MLB, which could be Opening Day. Paraphrasing @RyanDivish here
Ryan Divish@RyanDivish
@SamDmsc No, they just aren't going to announce it till they have to. If they've done nothing to change their cable subscription, it should just appear on their guide
English
@RyanDivish This is what was announced earlier. They said there would be a specific channel on YouTube TV.
English
@nicolecarolee Well that's good. Again, probably information that should be more public
