Why don't sports subscriptions like mlb extra innings, nhl center ice,etc include online/mobile versions like mlb.tv ?

Possibly something to do with broadcast rights, or comcast unwilling to pony up the extra cash to be able to provide such services. I'm going with the latter

Re: why don't sport subscriptions include online/mobile version&

that's not right though. Paying $180 for mlb or nhl then having to pay extra through each league to watch online or mobile?
That's over $200

It's comcast, they confuse me.

more than likely that is MLB and NHL's decision, not comcast.

I'm just saying I should get all those for the price I would pay.

Why don't they include HD? Mobile is a bonus, HD should be a given.

Why include it in the price if you want you pay extra for it. I have no use for it so I should have not have to pay for you to watch. I pay enough now for paying for other people.

The simple answer is the leagues get away with it. The issue has nothing to do with Comcadt.

Why doesn't milk come with the purchase of cold cereal?

Comcast sells TV broadcasts. The leagues sell apps for mobile devices.

The two have no correlation.

I bought a new car and I feel the dealer should pay for the fuel for me to enjoy the manufacturers product outside of my driveway.

It just won't happen.

Why does Comcast make me buy my own television?
