Twitter has struck a deal to livestream some NHL and Major League Baseball games for free, but Canada will be shut out for the most part.
Twitter Inc. announced Monday it will stream one weekly out-of-market hockey and baseball game per week, and will also create a nightly sports highlights show, The Rally, which will be streamed free daily.
"Twitter has long been a great partner and platform for both baseball and hockey fans as they follow their favourite teams and players every day," said Kenny Gersh, a spokeman with MLB's media division. "We know fans will embrace what this wide-ranging partnership brings – expanded and reliable access to live baseball and hockey and the introduction of Twitter's first daily live highlight show delivered intuitively to a platform where they're actively engaged with the games."http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/twitter-sports-streaming-1.3694452
