I think securing the MLS for the next 10 year was a great move though. Allowing Apple to get experience in broadcasting sports nationally much more frequently. RSNs are dying, and MLB is getting ready to launch its own Nationwide service in 2027/28. I think Apple makes a play for the MLB to make it a national sport again, once their next CBA deals with all the blackouts that had been plaguing fans for year. They already show Friday night and some Sunday game, and ESPN has just dropped baseball altogether starting in 2026.

Glad to hear that about MLB. I've been perplexed by the blackout system for years, it's basically blocked me from watching my home team at all.
