Sigh. How the **** do I watch the Royals?
- I’m in the KC market.
- I have YoutubeTV. - YouTubeTV does not carry the Bally sports channels. - MLB TV pass doesn’t work because I am in the KC market, so it’s blacked out. What the **** are my options here? - I’m not buying an additional cable package or streaming provider. I'm fine with one-offs, just not a multi-channel duplication of what I already get with YoutubeTV. - I’m not clicking into Ethiopian livestream every game to deal with buffering issues, boner pill pop-up ads, or having my identity stolen. EDIT/UPDATE: For anyone in the same boat, the solution was going direct through the Bally's app. Last edited by Dante84; 06-11-2024 at 10:59 AM.. |

Direct TV Stream is the one you need.

One option you didn't mention would be to just go to all the games.

For the record, I agree with you. I have a partial season package so I go to a fair amount of home games but I refuse to pay for stupid Ballys. I listen online or follow online the rest of the time. If the team is still in it come August, I may pay for 2 months of Ballys. Maybe

I felt the same way as you until Bally's made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I got 1 month for $14.95 with the following month free. And then it will auto-renew for $19.95, if I don't cancel. So I basically have Royals games now whenever I want, through August for $35.
I don't know if they are still running that promo or not. EDIT: I found the email they sent and the offer expired 5/31. The promo code was KCBALLY24, maybe it still works.

I don't mind paying a reasonable price for a standalone service like MLBTV, but the blackouts prevent me from accessing. From what I can tell, the same is true if I buy Bally's as well.
