Juan Soto's signing boosts Mets' visibility on national TV networks
Juan Soto's recent signing with the New York Mets is expected to increase the team's visibility on national television. Soto, now the highest-paid player in sports, may attract new fans and boost MLB's TV ratings. The Mets' acquisition of Soto could shift the focus from the Yankees, who have historically dominated national broadcasts. This change is anticipated to enhance the Mets' appeal to TV networks, similar to how the NFL prioritizes star players. In related news, ESPN is preparing for a transition of the show "Inside the NBA" from TNT, indicating a shift in its sports programming strategy. Meanwhile, VICE TV plans to release docu-series on notable basketball coaches Rick Pitino and John Calipari.
