[nfbwatlk] accessibility of MLB At Bat

Sun Jul 22 01:03:23 UTC 2012

Mike,

     If you get the phone ap it is $14.95 for both the droid version or
Iphone version.  I believe you need a TV subscription to use the TV portion
but the audio works fine.

Jessiaca:

I don't know what the app costs if you buy the premium features, i.e., MLB
TV, via the app mechanism. For the PC, MLB Premium (all access) is something
like $139.95 a year and one gets the app free. But I believe the GameDay
Audio portion of the app is $19.95 a year. Marci is correct; you get the
same package wherever you live. But the TV costs more. I have it because I
like the "condensed game" feature, the library of audio and video games
which requires premium and is available only on the PC and also I like to
listen to certain announcers who spend most of their time on the TV side.
Vince Skully of the Dodgers is one example.

Most blind persons of my acquaintance have the audio only.

Mike

All of this is great information. I think I'm gonna fall for this app yet.
Mike, can you tell me of the price differences between the audio and premium
features? I'm thinking the prices may varry depending what market one is in.
Thanks again for the info.
