Orange County baseball fans can catch Los Angeles Angels games on the FanDuel Sports Network West on the same cable and satellite channel from the previous year, beginning with the exhibition Freeway Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 22.
After a brief state of TV limbo due to the status of Main Street Sports Group, the struggling parent company of the FanDuel Sports Network, the Angels reportedly bought its regional stake in the network from the company.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Angels did not respond to the Business Journal’s request for comment about the new TV deal. The channel will also continue to show Los Angeles Kings games.
“Bringing this Regional Sports Network under our umbrella allows us to strengthen fan access to both teams,” outgoing Angels President John Carpino said in a statement.
“This opportunity provides a seamless transition for viewers while continuing to offer the same high-quality broadcasts they have come to expect.”
Leaving Main Street Sports
The FanDuel Sports Network West, and its past iterations such as Fox Sports West and Bally Sports West, has produced and distributed Angels games for the past 34 years.
The Angels’ move comes a couple of months after the team, along with several other Major League Baseball franchises, left Main Street Sports, formerly the Diamond Sports Group.
The Connecticut-based company began missing scheduled rights fee payments to several MLB and NBA teams and has faced financial struggles due to cord-cutting (millions of viewers dropping cable subscriptions for streaming options like YouTube TV) and changes in how people watch and consume sports.
The Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers, Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds, Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays left Main Street Sports for MLB.TV, which will now produce and distribute its baseball games. Major League Baseball produces broadcasts for 14 of the league’s 30 teams.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Braves, who also left, started their own network.
Watching Angels Games
Angels officials said the cable and satellite channels, along with the broadcast team, will remain the same.
Play-by-play announcer Wayne Randazzo, color analyst Mark Gubicza and reporter/host Erica Weston will continue as the on-air team for the games, Angels officials said.
The longtime Royal and former Angels pitcher, Gubicza, known as “Gubie,” returns for his 20th year and is the longest-running TV color commentator in franchise history
Former Angels stars Tim Salmon and Garret Anderson will also appear regularly on the broadcast.
Angels officials said fans can watch both Angels and Kings games on the same channels, including DirecTV channel 692, Spectrum channel 320 and Cox Orange County channel 64.
The team also made a deal with MLB.TV to stream games online through the MLB app.
Local fans can watch games on Angels.TV for $100, while fans outside the area pay $150.
The team is also scheduled to appear several times on national television during the 2026 season on ESPN, Apple TV, FS1 and Peacock, while the majority of its games will remain on the FanDuel Sports Network West channel, Angels officials said.
