MLB announces big change to ‘Friday Night Baseball’ broadcasts

Sometimes, I can be that cranky, “get off my lawn guy”. I want to watch MLB baseball games the way I always have; turn on my cable box and go to the same channel I always do. Day after day, year after year, it’s that simple. However, MLB’s partnership with various streaming platforms has drastically changed things. Sometimes though, change is a good thing.

Each Friday night, if you are looking for your team’s game and can’t find it, there’s a very good chance it’s on Apple TV. The first step is to make sure that you have Apple TV, and then to sign into the app and locate the game. Once you get past that, the experience is worth it, as there is a lot to like with respect to the product. And in the next few weeks, that’s going to get even better.

By no means is this meant to be an ode to Apple, but there’s a lot to like about their technology and the 4k broadcast quality they bring to baseball. Over the course of four consecutive weeks, beginning August 28th, Apple is now going to take things a few steps forward.

The games will be broadcast in 8k and in VR. Within the limits of television, the Vision Pro immersive feeds will get you as close to, and into, the action as possible. Additionally, given the technology and intricacies of this feed, there will be dedicated announcer teams.

Whether this continues past these four games remains to be seen, but it’s certainly an interesting and exciting next step in the technology of broadcasting baseball.
