Hey Rangers fans, we’ve got some exciting news and it has to do with the Texas Rangers TV situation for 2025 and beyond.
We all know the Texas Rangers are ditching Bally Sports. That alone was fantastic news because it was a disaster for multiple reasons.
It seems that instead of sticking with the same old regional sports network, they’re going for a fresh approach that’s gonna change how we all watch Rangers games.
Here’s a look at what’s on the table:
- Over-the-Air: They’re looking to get games on TV stations in around 34 markets. This could bring back some old-school charm and help more fans tune in.
- Streaming: They’re planning a direct-to-consumer service so we can watch games on our phones, computers, or smart TVs. No more cable needed. Good news here – no more blackouts locally.
Cost and Reach
The goal here is to keep the cash flow strong, with the Rangers hoping to make at least as much as they did from their old deal, which was around $110 million a year. But more importantly, they want to make games accessible to as many fans as possible. They’ll need to keep the pricing affordable.
I think this is a game-changer. We’ve been stuck with blackouts for too long, and while there’s no official word yet that they’re gone, it sure looks like the Rangers are moving in that direction. I’m excited to see how this all plays out.
The Rangers have not confirmed any of these details but it has been reported by multiple sources. An announcement by the team is expected in early 2025. As always, we’ll keep you updated.
