Mets Spark Business Bump at SNY as MLB Playoffs Near

SNY President Steve Raab joins Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including how the business of his regional sports network changes as the team it shows -- the New York Mets -- climb back into playoff contention. SNY is majority owned by the Mets, and its investors include Charter and Comcast, which provide distribution heft. Also discussed is how the Yankees and their RSN, the YES Network, complement SNY and help to promote the businesses of both. Raab also talks about where Major League Baseball is taking digital rights, and offers his take on what Sinclair's purchase of 21 Fox regional sports networks says about the industry. He also touches on SNY's Connecticut Ice, a hockey festival showcasing the sport across the state, including games involving Yale, Connecticut, Sacred Heart and Quinnipiac.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
