Amazon To Stream Yankees After Pandemic Delay: Bloomberg - Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Amazon.Com Inc’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) pandemic-delayed plan to stream the New York Yankees launches April 18, Bloomberg reports.
The 21 games would include several prominent contests, including three against the Boston Red Sox. The company became a part-owner of the baseball team’s YES cable network in 2019.
Last week, Amazon won exclusive rights to NFL broadcasts on Thursday nights, paying about $1 billion a year for those games.
Amazon Prime subscribers need to live in the Yankees’ market to avail of the service. The games produced by YES Network would also air on PIX11 and other TV channels.
Prime subscribers would be able to see Amazon’s “X-Ray” feature, including live in-game stats, team and player details, and play-by-play information. Viewers would also see a 15-minute pregame show featuring YES Network’s on-air talent.
Price action: AMZN shares traded lower by 0.63% at $3,117.13 on the last check Wednesday.
