However, the original tv broadcast schedule had Friday's series opener between the Blue Jays and the Royals in Kansas City exclusively on Apple TV. But with the game potentially having huge playoff implications for the Blue Jays, Rogers (who owns Sportsnet and the Blue Jays) made a deal with Apple TV to simulcast the game on Rogers airwaves. Sportsnet will produce the pre-game show Blue Jays Central at 7 p.m. as well as the post-game show, while airing the Apple TV+ production of the actual game. The Blue Jays are totally clinching a postseason spot Friday night on Apple TV+. As part of the deal, Apple TV will get exclusive rights to air next Friday's game (Sept. 26) when the Blue Jays host the Tampa Bay Rays.
