This was done out of necessity, they used to be on root sports (owned by the Mariners). Root Sports has terrible distribution throughout the area (No DirectTV and only streaming on Fubo) Comcast who is the regional cable provider here put them in a much more expensive tier as well.
Hard to continue building your fanbase when very few can watch it on TV. I'm hoping that Root implodes so I can start watching Mariners games locally. On a side note our family used to go to a lot of Cannons games in the late 80's/early 90's, it was really neat to watch some of those great Mariners come through Calgary!
