NBC Sports ends holdout with Bay Area cord-cutters with streaming add-on
Briefly

The San Francisco Giants have launched a streaming solution for their games via Peacock, addressing the lack of regional options for fans. Previously, fans in Northern California faced restrictions that required a full cable subscription to watch their team, leading to frustration. Now, they can stream Giants and Warriors games conveniently with a new add-on service. This marks a significant shift in accessibility for sports fans, allowing them to enjoy their favorite teams without the burden of unwanted channels. Subscriptions will now start at approximately $25.94 a month, which is still cheaper than other regional options.
The San Francisco Giants have modernized their viewing experience, allowing local fans to stream games through Peacock, effectively catering to 21st-century viewing habits.
Previously, Giants fans faced restrictions on streaming, but now, they have access to live broadcasts without needing a full cable subscription, a significant improvement.
Fans still require a Peacock subscription to stream games, with an additional fee for NBC Sports Bay Area. This setup is more cost-effective than other markets.
The move addresses long-standing frustrations of fans regarding cable dependencies and blackouts, marking a shift towards a more accessible viewing model for local sports.
