"The club has an agreement in place to purchase a portion of Main Street Sports and launch their own TV network. The new network will also involve the NHL's Los Angeles Kings and has not yet been named, but it will replace FanDuel Sports Network on cable and satellite providers in Southern California."
"Main Street Sports, who owned the FanDuel Sports Network channels, has been having financial troubles for years as people move away from cable subscriptions and towards digital streaming. Main Street missed some payments to some clubs earlier this year, prompting all nine of them to terminate their deals."
"Fans can also purchase a streaming package directly from the league. It would be $99.99 for just the Angels or $199.99 for the full league experience."
The Angels have agreed to purchase a portion of Main Street Sports and establish their own television network in partnership with the NHL's Los Angeles Kings. The network will replace FanDuel Sports Network on cable and satellite providers throughout Southern California, with an official announcement expected the following week. Fans can purchase streaming packages directly, priced at $99.99 for Angels games or $199.99 for comprehensive league coverage. This development follows Main Street Sports' financial difficulties and missed payments to nine MLB teams, prompting six clubs to transition to MLB-handled broadcasts. The Angels join Atlanta and Detroit in creating team-owned broadcast entities, with the Angels' network sharing structural similarities to Detroit SportsNet by combining one MLB team with an NHL partner.
