How we checked the math

Last reviewed April 4, 2026

  • We price the Arizona Diamondbacks home-market setup first, using PHOENIX (PRESCOTT) as the local TV market.
  • MLB coverage can mix local rights, national windows, and direct-to-consumer add-ons.
  • Change the ZIP, add another team, or model an away-market fan when your setup is different.
