“Major League Baseball Advanced Media – BAM, for short, is as technologically sophisticated as any company, anywhere.
Here’s how a winning and profitable strategy is being built by an online player that breaks all the rules.“

The video quality was top notch for streamed games, and overall it’s a pretty good service.  However, the one major drawback was and apparently still is, the blacked out games.
In other words, the local team has many games blacked out. There were many times, when the local team game was even broadcast on local TV, yet I was unable to view or listen to the game via this service (even when the game was sold-out).
This was particularly frustrating because in the computer lab where I worked at the time, I was unable to get AM radio reception and even though I had this service, I was unable to enjoy even listening to the game.
It was a major league disappointment.

Apparently, there are three teams that have introduced in-market streaming. That’s a start, but still not good enough.
