New York -- Major League Baseball Advanced Media on Tuesday announced the launch of a live video streaming service for out-of-market baseball games, offering fans access to broadcasts of games played outside of teams' local TV blackout areas. The service will offer a total of about 1,000 games -- about 3 games per each team each week -- charging $14.95 per month, $79.95 for the entire season or $2.95 per game. Games on MLB.tv will be streamed at 330k using RealNetworks' technology. MLB.com is offering a sample of the service with nine free Spring Training game webcasts, beginning with the March 13th game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030311/nytu054_1.html
