MLB, Spectrum SportsNet LA partner to launch SNLA+
Dodgers fans have a new, blackout-free way to watch the team, thanks to a partnership between MLB and Spectrum SportsNet LA.
SNLA+, a new streaming service, will provide 24/7 digital access to all SportsNet LA programming through the MLB app and MLB.com. This service, which is only available to fans in the Dodgers¡¯ home territory, includes Dodgers games broadcast by the network, pre- and postgame coverage and original programming. Dodgers games broadcast by other networks are not included.
Spectrum TV costumers with a package that includes SportsNet LA will have access to SNLA+ on the MLB app and MLB.com. The service is also provided at no extra cost to Spectrum's existing non-video customers who use both internet and mobile service. Additionally, DirecTV customers whose package carries SportsNet LA can access the new service through authentication on the MLB app and at MLB.com.
SNLA+ is also available for $29.99 per month or $199.99 annually to anyone at MLB.com/sportsnetla.
The move comes as MLB continues efforts to increase the reach of its games in an increasingly fragmented media landscape. Polls of MLB fans have consistently shown that game blackouts are a top frustration, leading MLB to work with its teams and regional sports networks to eliminate blackouts where possible -- an effort that remains ongoing.
With the launch of SNLA+, the Dodgers become the 23rd MLB team with a direct-to-customer in-market streaming option.
