Wow! I just read this and it seemed cool.The people at the Major League Baseball (which have not had any trouble getting users to pay for online video and content) have improved their platform starting on... Spring Training!
The new service of MLB.TV will allow users -apparently- so see each drop of the chin-sweat on the faces of their favorite players, as long as they have a fast-enough internet speed.
The new service will have also DVR qualities, meaning that users will be able to pause and rewind to re-live their favorite play (as they happen). Stop depending on the networks' selection of repetition-worthy plays! Additionally, users will also be able to select their preferred newscaster to narrate the event for them. (Talk about 'Baseball Idol'! This is going to stir the sports narrator market as users preferences are revealed)
I mean, this whole thing makes me want to watch Baseball online! Forget Fenway!
The MLB is also working on improving their iPhone and Blackberry apps, making them suitable to offer live radio broadcast of games for their users.
Guess the MLB is really immersing into the three screens experience now.
The only thing -there's always a thing- is that due to previous TV copyrights agreements and permissions, the live broadcasts of certain teams may not be available for users in certain markets. (Guess the MLB still wants to keep the peace with the network powers. Good. They should do it... While they can)
Thank God Fenway is not that far, after all.
