SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. — The Rockies announced their six-game spring training TV schedule Thursday and unveiled their broadcast crew for the 2024 season.
The team will stream the club’s first Cactus League game at 1 p.m. Friday, when they play the Diamondbacks at Salt River Fields.
Fans can view games on Rockies.tv, the new direct-to-consumer streaming option for all Rockies regular-season games this year (excluding national TV exclusive games). All six spring training games can be streamed for free. The cost for Rockies.tv broadcasts during the regular season will be $19.99 per month or $99.99 for the full regular season.
Information on where fans will be able to watch Rockies regular-season games through a traditional cable or satellite provider will be announced before the March 28 season opener, the club said.
Rockies games will now be produced and distributed by Major League Baseball.
Most of the Rockies’ longtime TV crew will return this season. Play-by-play announcer Drew Goodman is returning to the booth for his 23rd season calling Rockies games. He will be joined by analysts Jeff Huson, Ryan Spilborghs and Cory Sullivan, with Kelsey Wingert and Marc Stout returning in their roles as sideline reporters.
One familiar broadcaster who is not returning is Jenny Cavnar. Cavnar, a longtime member of the Rockies’ TV broadcast team, left the Rockies last week to become the play-by-play announcer for the Oakland Athletics. The move makes the Smoky Hill High School and CSU alumna the first female primary play-by-play voice in MLB history.
After months of uncertainty and speculation, the broadcasting crew is excited to return.
“I know I can speak for our entire crew in this regard,” Goodman said. “We are thrilled and privileged to do what we do and love, bringing Rockies baseball to fans, each and every night.
“Our broadcast team in the truck, and the booth, is truly a family, and that’s not always the case. It’s a whole new sports television world, but the games will look the same and we will continue to endeavor to bring the highest quality broadcasts in regional sports. We can’t wait to get rolling.”
Following is the Rockies’ spring training TV streaming schedule (all times MST):
• Friday, 1:10 p.m., Rockies vs. Diamondbacks
• Saturday, 1:10 p.m., Rockies at Diamondbacks
• March 1, 1:10 p.m., Rockies vs. Mariners
• March 15, 1:10 p.m., Rockies vs. Rangers
• March 16, 4:10 p.m., Rockies vs. Diamondbacks
• March 26, 12:10 p.m., Rockies vs. Brewers
The Rockies open the 2024 regular season on March 28 at Arizona before returning home for their home opener against Tampa Bay on April 5 at Coors Field.
The switch to streaming is a major shift in how the Rockies, and other major league teams, televise their games. AT&T SportsNet Mountain Rocky Mountain had televised Rockies games since 1997, but last March, Warner Brothers Discovery, Inc. (WBD) announced it would cut off its rights payments to the Rockies, Houston Astros and Pittsburgh Pirates, whose games it aired through AT&T SportsNet.
Rockies games remained on AT&T SportsNet through the 2023 season, but the regional sports network officially shut down Dec. 31.
