“Our top priority is to make sure Reds games are accessible to our fans,” said Doug Healy, Reds Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a press release. “The decision to stay with FanDuel Sports Network provides continuity for our fans to watch Reds games as in previous seasons, and now with a direct-to-consumer streaming product available through the FanDuel Sports Network app.”
According to the Reds, the FanDuel Sports Network will broadcast “all in-market games that are not exclusively televised nationally, as well as 30-minute pre and postgame shows. In addition, the agreement includes rights to distribute programming direct-to-consumer (DTC) in-market. Fans will now be able to stream games on the FanDuel Sports Network app by authenticating with their pay TV credentials or purchasing a DTC subscription. More information regarding DTC subscriptions, including pricing, will be announced ahead of the upcoming 2025 season.”
After last season, the Reds were looking for a new TV partner after they ended their joint venture with the Diamond Sports Group. Main Street Sports is the new name of the Diamond Sports Group, which emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year.
