Watching the Lightning (FanDuel Sun, Streaming, TV, etc.)

Will FD televise the Rays next season from Steinbrenner Field?

I don't think there's been an announcement, but FD Sun still claims the Rays as one of their teams.

I'd figure that playing at Steinbrenner could be good business for FanDuelSN. There'd be a novelty to it, at least at first, and the lower stadium capacity should result in more people watching from home.

Ratings are down with both fall sports, so I don't think there's necessarily a product problem with either.

I think we can all agree that tv ratings in general are down due to things like cord cutting and streaming, but franchise valuations and HRR calculations are partly tied into the large tv deals.
