Cubs will kick off 'Friday Night Baseball on AppleTV, full TV schedule announced |
The Chicago Cubs will host the Texas Rangers on 1 p.m. CT on April 7 to kick off Apple TV's second year of coverage of "Friday Night Baseball."
Following the game, the Atlanta Braves will face off against the San Diego Padres. “We can’t wait for ‘Friday Night Baseball’ to start up again, and we’re excited for fans to experience everything new we’re bringing this season,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services. “Apple TV+ truly has something for everyone, from two live baseball games every Friday night, to an incredible slate of award-winning original films and series — there’s never been a better time to sign up.” To be able to watch the games, an AppleTV+ subscription is required, which is not ideal news for most fans around the country and beyond. Apple TV+ is available for $6.99 (US) per month with a seven-day free trial. Apple will also do away with the three-person booth they used last season and go with the traditional two-person approach. The announcer working the games this season will include Wayne Randazzo (play-by-play), Dontrelle Willis (analyst), Heidi Watney (sideline reporter), Alex Faust (play-by-play), Ryan Spilborghs (analyst), and Tricia Whitaker (sideline reporter)
