Providing a prototype for what future local broadcasts for a number of Major League Baseball teams might look like soon, the league's new regional sports network, "MLB San Diego Padres" will launch on DirecTV platforms, Charter Spectrum, Cox Communications and Fubo in Southern California starting Wednesday at 6:40 p.m. EST, when the Padres take on the Florida Marlins.
According to a DirecTV press release, the new channel can be found on DirecTV linear satellite at channel 694-3, on DirecTV Stream at 694, and on U-verse via HD channel 1781 and SD channel 781. The channel will show up on DirecTV program guides as "Padres."
