Dunno exactly, but there's gotta be some original camera feeds from on the ground that don't have those. The ads we saw years ago were overlayed at the top of the screen, taking up around 20% of the vertical space. And... every time you started a stream, there were 1-2 minutes of the same stupid commercials (trucks, etc).

Ah so it’s just streaming the most premium product available.

Usually that’s something like NFL RedZone/MLB.tv/etc which offers direct feeds, out of market, with blackouts etc.

Have enough people feeding your provider with streams and you have a legally dubious nationwide ad-free service for that league.

I thought you meant it somehow got rid of commercials on normal channels, but live. That wouldn’t make sense. But these channels don’t have traditional commercials in the first place.

Yeah, I think the premium services offer feeds directly from the local TV production. Sometimes they'll offer multiple feeds from the same game, one of which will be a national broadcast feed and another will be a local production with different commentators.
