Comcast Technology Solutions Selected By Texas Rangers For Regional Sports Network

Comcast Technology Solutions (CTS) has been selected by the Texas Rangers to provide Managed Channel Origination (MCO) for its team-controlled regional sports network, Rangers Sports Network (RSN). RSN will deliver live broadcasts of Rangers’ games and related content across selected broadcast, cable, and satellite television platforms in the team’s designated viewing areas.

Rangers Sports Media & Entertainment Company and RSN produce and distribute games and other content. As the exclusive local-television home of the Rangers, RSN will oversee the production and distribution of game broadcasts, including selecting on-air talent, managing camera and audio resources, directing broadcast technical elements, and coordinating behind-the-scenes staffing.

CTS says its Managed Channel Origination “delivers a fully managed service aimed at improving operational efficiency, reducing capital expenses, and future-proofing customers’ ability to monetize world-class viewing experiences at scale. Managed Channel Origination provides media companies and broadcasters with a platform for unified video workflow from content acquisition through delivery, and is a core capability of the CTS SportsHub. Through this solution, CTS will manage the origination of live events, including content acquisition, commercial insertion, and distribution to MVPD partners. RSN features a broad range of live game broadcasts, pre- and post-game coverage, and other team-related content, all powered by CTS’ MCO.”

“The Texas Rangers have consistently demonstrated innovation and leadership in the sports world, and we’re excited to support them as they take this next step in controlling their broadcasting future,” said Bart Spriester, Comcast Technology Solutions senior vice president and general manager of streaming, broadcast and advertising. “We are thrilled to partner with the Rangers on this exciting venture. Our Managed Channel Origination service will help them streamline their operations, ensuring they can deliver their games to fans seamlessly, while positioning them for long-term success in an increasingly dynamic sports media landscape.”

“Comcast Technology Solutions has been instrumental in supporting our vision to establish a more independent and efficient broadcast platform,” said Angie Swint, Rangers senior vice president of broadcast. “Their expertise in managed services and comprehensive broadcast solutions enables us to focus on delivering an unparalleled experience for Rangers fans, while also providing us with more control over our distribution channels and future growth.”

RSN has partnered with cable and digital providers to televise the Rangers’ game broadcasts this season, with each distributor offering a specific channel for pregame, game, and postgame coverage. For the first time since 2014, the Rangers are also offering free over-the-air broadcasts, with 15 games scheduled, primarily on Friday home contests. Fans outside of the Rangers’ television territory can stream games via MLB.TV.
