The Jays local TV audience numbers for the Jays are the best in baseball (if you keep it to the local market) I'm trying to find the article I found last year and posted on another board. The Jays are helped by the fact that their local TV area is now 40 million people, which is the largest in baseball, and far above the average of the 30 teams.

If you add Japan then I 100% agree the Dodgers home broadcasts get more fans. But those revenues are shared as they are part of the international pool. There are ways though the Dodgers can benefit solely from Japan ball games (merch + auxiliary deals).

That $200M in the table is the Dodgers local TV deal only.. it doesn't include Japan -- its an absurdly large contract that dwarfs everybody, giving them a huge advantage.

Your revenue table is irrelevant as it pertains to the Jays, Almost all the teams above have a local TV contract with a non-related entity, so the number stated in the table is the real value of the deal. The Jays deal is likely an intercompany charge, between the Jays and another division with Rogers, so its not representative of the fair value of the contract.

The fact that the Jays are spending like crazy, despite being part of a public company who care about profits. shows that they are deriving lots of money from their local TV broadcasts.
Jays are also deriving a lot of money from stadium concessions, as well!!

I don't mind his videos at all. IMHO, no such thing as too much sports information!!
It's not too much information. It's too much misinformation. This gut and zero sources and just makes shit up in a way he would like to see the Jays managed.

I don't care either way. I would never waste my money attending a Jays game in person. As I said upthread, the Jays will win 80 games at best this coming season. Probably closer to 75 wins!!
