ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It is the burning question of spring training surrounding the Tampa Bay Rays.
No, not that the team is back in Tropicana Field. Not how many home runs Junior Caminero will hit this season. And not even how pitcher Shane McClanahan will fare this season in his comeback.
The question most asked leading up to Thursday’s season opening game is “How do I watch the Rays on TV?”
On Thursday, the Rays and Major League Baseball answered the questions.
The games will be made available in the Bay area and Central Florida on Spectrum cable, as well as MLB’s streaming service. The games also will be on various cable, satellite and internet outlets.
On Spectrum cable in the Tampa Bay area, Rays TV can be found at channels 179 or 1152.
On Spectrum cable in the Central Florida area, Rays TV can be found on channels 103 or 1152.
Tampa Bay opens the season today at St. Louis. First pitch is at 4:15 p.m.
Viewers can check tbrays.com/watch and enter a zip code and carrier to find where to watch games.
Earlier this year, the Rays moved their television production from Fan Duel Sports Network to MLB productions.
