"The Padres are excited to be the first team to partner with Major League Baseball to offer a direct-to-consumer streaming option through MLB.TV without blackouts while preserving our in-market distribution through traditional cable and satellite television providers. "We have been preparing for this groundbreaking moment," Padres CEO Erik Greupner said in a statement. The makeup of the team's pre- and postgame show, however, is still being figured out, according to a source. Camera operators, producers and other behind-the-scenes employees are typically outsourced on a freelance basis, a model that MLB will follow. In-game, on-air broadcasters - typically play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo, analyst Mark Grant and on-field reporter Bob Scanlan - are employed by the Padres and won't be affected. "While we're disappointed that Diamond Sports Group failed to live up to their contractual agreement with the club, we are taking this opportunity to reimagine the distribution model, remove blackouts on local games, improve the telecasts and expand the reach of Padres games by more than 2 million homes," MLB chief revenue officer Noah Garden said in a statement.

In a release issued late Tuesday night, MLB stated that the new approach would increase the Padres' reach from 1.13 million to about 3.2 million homes within the team's TV territory.

fuboTV will also continue to air Padres games through its platform. Local fans can also watch Padres games through a variety of cable providers - AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV, Cox and Spectrum - on a different channel. Through this process, Padres games will no longer be subject to blackouts. After that, in-market fans can continue to stream games for $19.99 a month or $74.99 for the rest of the regular season on MLB.com and (postseason games air on national platforms).
