This new local market streaming deal is awesome for MLB fans and it's very popular up here in Alaska. Due to a contract dispute with our local cable provider, Root Sports Northwest isn't in our cable option, yet we have still been blacked out from streaming Mariners games on MLB.tv for years because we are "in their region". So MLB.tv is only for non-Mariners fans up here, like myself.
When my Reds or Angels play the Mariners, I can listen to streams of either of the radio broadcasts on MLB.tv, but I can only watch a replay about 4 hours after the game when Root Sports finishes their re-broadcast of the game.
MLB.tv would be almost useless for a Reds fan in Reds territory. It's kind of easy to avoid spoilers on Reds and Angels games in the outskirts of Mariners territory with no local broadcast deal . . . it would be extremely difficult in the heart of Reds territory to avoid spoilers or updates for 7 to 8 hours before finally being able to watch a replay of the game.
