SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Padres, in partnership with Major League Baseball, 97.3 The Fan and 860AM La Poderosa, announced their 2025 regular season broadcast schedule. All regular season Padres games will be televised in English on either Padres TV, AppleTV+, ROKU, ESPN, FS1, FOX Sports or TBS. Games produced by Padres TV will also be available for live, authenticated streaming on Padres.TV. Additionally, all regular season games will be broadcast live on the radio in both English and Spanish on 97.3 The Fan and XEMO-860AM La Poderosa, respectively.
Padres fans can use the channel finder at www.padres.com/tunein to find their provider’s channel number by entering their zip code. For easy reference in San Diego, the channels are as follows:
COX - 83
Spectrum – 305
DirecTV – 694-3
AT&T Uverse – 781

MLB took over the Pads broadcasts in 2023 after Ballys went belly up. This seems to be the standard operating procedure for MLB broadcasts with the cable, DirecTV, AT&T providing broadcast through Pads TV at channels above. They even offer the 10 games on over the air local TV.

Why should I pay for another app when I have cable TV? See SD listings that I posted.

If you want to watch you’re just going to have to figure it out
That's the kind of attitude that will spread the game.

Congratulations old and poors.

I've said it before and I will say it again I have no desire whatsoever to pay for another streaming service. I'm done, I'm out.

You have to pay for a special sports package through your cable/satellite provider.

It’s not free.

But

The TV Select Signature or Stream level does not.
So Spectrum will broadcast a FanDuel…..Foxsports Midwest like coverage on one of their cable channels? But we don’t know which channel that is currently?
Your guess is as good as mine GF

I dropped them recently and went to a DirectTV package + Cardinals.TV
Weeks away from Cards opening day and this org……whose only mandate is to provide an entertainment product for its customers….can’t provide clear instructions how to view its product in the home market. Truly amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a more complete clusterphuck stewardship of any business like the BDW ST. Louis Cardinals. They had a rabid captured fanbase and have almost completely destroyed it.
It’s actually really simple to those that don’t complain about a free bag of gold being too heavy.

Star link works. But you can buy the Cardinals TV package on DIRECTV. It’s not that hard.
St. Louis Cardinals games on DIRECTV, with local, in-market games primarily on FanDuel Sports Network Midwest (formerly Bally Sports). For the 2026 season, this is transitioning to the new "Cardinals.TV" service, which will be available through DIRECTV as a channel

He was reading about the $99.99 Cardinal TV thing and called his cable company there about signing up.
He told me that they told him he would be getting all the Cardinals games (with exception of 10 ) and the spring training games on his Channel 6 with Spectrum.

Checking to make sure this is correct and that he will be getting all the games (minus the 10 ) without adding any subscription So I told him I would check on the forum .

Anyone with spectrum that can help me out ?
Appreciate the help.. Thank you ! Ramfandan
I worked for Spectrum on the west coast until a few years ago. The problem with calling in, is that the call centers have a very generic understanding of localized packages because they very heavily not only by state, but by region as well. So Hopefully you find someone here that can offer some insight because calling in will get you absolutely nowhere. If he's able to go into the store, that would be the most accurate information. Just have him go online and schedule an appointment at the store location, or he could be waiting a couple hours in there.
Thank you all who replied to my question and especially you Tony , with your insight as former employee of Spectrum . I will forward your excellent suggestion to my old buddy and his wife. Ramfandan

I called Spectrum and it was easily explained that I could but the Cardinals TV channel for $99. It’s not that difficult.

it was included in many of the satellite and cable packages on the basic tier.

Did you pay for those services? Sure. Did you only get one program or channel to watch for that price? Nope you had it for the 150 channels as well.

You are comparing apples to rice a roni

It was on the basic package for spectrum which included the 89 other channels. I'm not purchasing a separate service just for 162 games a year.
