Ars Technica: Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM) has announced a $600 million deal with the National Hockey League (NHL), which will give the baseball group the rights to hockey’s out-of-market TV broadcasting and Internet streaming. Major League Baseball’s tech branch will pay $100 million per year to the NHL for six years for the rights to distribute the NHL’s out-of-market games in U.S. markets and in some international ones as well. The NHL will get a 7 to 10 percent equity stake in MLBAM.
