Yankees Games To Be Available Online In NYC...Maybe

Well this is a nice step forward, though I'm very curious what the fee will be. Oh yes, one other problem, you can't get Cablevision in Manhattan. Just a little problem there. I'm hoping that it's just a partnership and not the offering company. From Sporting News:

The Yankees will become the first major league team to have games streamed live online in their home market, according to SportsBusiness Daily, a sister publication of Sporting News.

Cablevision TV and broadband customers on a tier with access to the YES Network could, for an additional fee, see the games online by the end of this season, SBD reports.

Currently, fans can watch out-of-market games online through MLB.TV. Teams have wanted to stream games in their own markets, but there have been several sticking points, such as where the games would be hosted on the web, whether there would be a subscription fee and how revenue would be shared among clubs and MLB.

MLB hopes the deal between YES and Cablevision will break the in-market online streaming logjam and lead to similar deals in other markets, according to the report.
