Regional sports networks group, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area, will offer an on-demand package of San Francisco Giants content that include replays of the Giants-Dodgers games as well as classic Giants games and related programming, according to network officials. The operator will also launch video-on-demand packages via Comcast SportsNet Chicago for Cubs and White Sox games.
CSN Bay Area general manager, Ted Griggs, said: “We think San Francisco is a prime location for new technology and exploring new avenues…this is one advantage of being teamed up with Comcast Cable, the leader of VOD. To be able to team up with [the Giants] and use that new technology to reach a different audience will be fantastic”.
In September, MLB relaxed rules on VOD offerings, which had previously been controlled by MLB Advanced Media.
