NEW YORK — Say goodbye to Gary, Keith and Ron on select Friday nights.
Apple and Major League Baseball have agreed to a streaming deal that will feature a doubleheader of Friday night games exclusively on Apple TV+ beginning in 2022, the technology company announced on Tuesday. The multi-year agreement is worth $85 million annually over seven years, according to Forbes.
The “Friday Night Baseball” concept will include a weekly doubleheader with pregame and postgame shows as soon as the upcoming season begins. Similar to ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, Apple and MLB’s new agreement means local broadcasts, like SNY’s legendary announcing trio in Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling, will be free from any responsibility on select Friday nights.
