Angels and Kings Launch Joint Regional Sports Network
The Los Angeles Angels and NHL's Los Angeles Kings are partnering to launch a team-linked regional sports network that will replace FanDuel Sports Network on cable and satellite across Southern California. The Angels are purchasing a stake in Main Street Sports, the distressed parent of the FanDuel-branded RSNs; final terms are still being finalized with an official announcement expected soon. Local streaming distribution will use MLB's infrastructure, with reported pricing of $99.99 for Angels-only access or $199.99 for a full-league package. The move follows Main Street defaults and marks the Angels as the ninth MLB club to exit FanDuel/RSD deals, reflecting a broader shift from the legacy RSN model to a mix of league-managed broadcasts, team-owned networks, and direct-to-consumer streaming.

The NBA is temporarily returning to over-the-air television, with the Bucks and Hawks partnering with local broadcasters. The piece argues a hybrid model, balancing central production with local market flexibility, is the most effective approach in the post-cable era.
