Comcast sideswiped by lawsuit against MLB


Sports Business News / by Dan Norton / 3min ago


For the 2016 and 2017 Major League Baseball seasons, Comcast will have to give customers a 12.5 percent discount from last year's price on MLB Extra Innings. The result of the lawsuit, which attacked MLB's broadcasting practices under an antitrust law, ruled in favor of the plaintiff, compelling MLB to offer cheaper, one-team options to its popular MLB.TV product. While Comcast is not obligated to offer a one-team choice, it is still bound by the reduction in price.
