The Tigers (and the five other teams) renegotiated with Diamond Sports Group to stay on FanDuel Sports Network (rather than finding a new TV home) for what is believed to be a reduced rights fee, as reported by The Athletic’s Evan Drellich. As a result, the reduced rights fee is expected to cut into the total revenue for the six teams involved, including the Tigers.
Local TV revenue is responsible for an average of 21% of a team’s total revenue, ranging from 12% to 32%, according to Drellich’s report
