MLB in talks with Facebook to stream one game per week, Reuters says
Facebook (FB) is in discussions with Major League Baseball to live stream one game a week during the 2017 season, Reuters reports, citing two people familiar with the situation. The company has pushed to sign deals with owners of sports rights to live stream their games, attempting to reach an audience that Twitter (TWTR) also wants to capture, the report says, citing sports media consultants. "Facebook is aggressively going after sports content and they are now one of a number of competitors to traditional media outlets that are going after sports programming," said sports media consultant Lee Berke. "It makes perfect sense that they would be going after name brand properties like the MLB." It was not clear which games MLB would live stream on the social media service, the report notes.
