Cleveland Guardians and MLB Launch New Cable Partnerships for Guardians TV

Cable and Streaming Revolution for Cleveland Guardians Fans

The Cleveland Guardians are embarking on an exciting new journey as they, alongside Major League Baseball, have secured fresh distribution agreements with notable cable and satellite providers for their rebranded streaming and broadcast service, Guardians TV. This initiative is particularly significant as it marks the first season where MLB overtakes the production and distribution mantle, following the team's severance from Diamond Sports Group, widely recognized as Bally Sports, which previously handled their broadcasts before encountering financial turmoil.

With this change, the Guardians are not only ensuring that their devoted fanbase gets to experience every thrilling moment of the games but are also enhancing the ways they can tune in. Guardians TV has set up an innovative streaming service, CLEGuardians.TV, where fans can follow in-market games by subscribing for $99.99 per year or, if they prefer monthly subscriptions, for $19.99. This option is conveniently accessible via MLB.TV or directly through the platform itself, making it much easier for fans to catch the action.

Expanded Access and Broadcast Innovations

For those who rely on cable, the Guardians have ensured extensive coverage by teaming up with popular cable and satellite partners. The games will now be viewable on AT&T U-verse (Channel 736/1736), Cox (Channel 80), DIRECTV (Channel 662), and Spectrum across varied channels in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky, among others. While this network expansion accommodates many, some services like YouTube TV, Hulu Live, and Sling TV remain omitted from the current agreements.

In addition to broader availability, fans will receive a fresh viewing experience. The broadcasts will feature more advanced production elements, such as wire cams and new camera angles, alongside reimagined focus cameras to enhance the visual storytelling of each game. I'm sure fans will be excited to hear the pre- and postgame shows are also making a comeback, hosted by the familiar duo, Al Pawlowski and Chris Gimenez.

This transition away from Bally Sports not only promises to eliminate former restrictions like regional blackouts but also positions the Cleveland Guardians to reach a wider audience. MLB's control over production means fans can expect consistently high-quality content.

The primary broadcast team, consisting of Matt Underwood, Rick Manning, and Andre Knott, is set to entertain viewers for their 11th season. Look out for some fresh insights with guest analysts such as Cody Allen, Ben Broussard, and Jason Kipnis joining the mix. It's a season full of promise and innovation for Guardians fans, and one that could usher in a new era for their viewing experience.
