To further hamper this idea, TV providers are already in the streaming game. So it's not like they're sitting on an increasingly lonely island wondering what to do. In fact, they're already well ahead of MASN in platform development.
There's a difference between a MVPD (Comcast, et al) offering its customers the ability to stream their service vs the ability to offer specific channels as a standalone product. In most cases, they cannot do the latter, as those are separate rights that they don't own or license.
Most streaming rights are still owned by the individual clubs (though I think a few did sell theirs to the now-bankrupt Bally's RSN). The 30 teams pooled streaming rights for out-of-market broadcasts to sell as MLBTV, but that doesn't include their in-market streaming rights (hence MLBTV blackouts). Like I mentioned above, some of those blackouts are forced via the contracts with carriers. But there are a couple teams (NYY and BOS) that are now offering standalone streaming products, so they probably either renegotiated with carriers or added the ability to offer a standalone service when they renewed with the MVPD carriers. Not surprisingly, both of those teams own at least a plurality of their broadcast RSN.
Manfred talks in The Athletic article about how in the future, and this will likely be many years, that teams might be selling their local broadcasts as streaming only when the RSNs on MVPD are no longer viable. For instance, someone like Amazon or Peacock, who already have existing and fairly reliable streaming platforms, might bid high for in-market streaming rights to teams like the Yankees or Dodgers. For others, mainly smaller market clubs, MLB's central office might purchase those rights and sell them as separate subscriptions under MLBTV.
All this is really interesting as far as the long-term future for MASN. The network still covers a huge market, so it probably won't go under anytime soon. But I wonder, if the court ruling is ultimately not in MASN's/O's favor how much sooner the network as we know it may no longer be viable. And just as importantly, how the deal MLB made with Angelos specifies what would happen at that point.
