Altafiber announced Tuesday that it has reached a long-term agreement with Major League Baseball to broadcast Cincinnati Reds games. The telecommunications company did not immediately disclose specific terms or duration of the broadcasting deal.

The agreement comes as MLB teams continue to navigate the changing landscape of regional sports broadcasting. Several teams have faced uncertainty over their television coverage in recent years as traditional regional sports networks have undergone financial restructuring.

Altafiber, which provides internet, television and phone services primarily in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, will now serve as the broadcast home for Reds games in the team's regional market. The company operates fiber-optic networks across the tristate area.

The Cincinnati Reds have been seeking stable broadcasting arrangements following broader industry disruptions that have affected multiple MLB franchises. Local broadcasting deals represent a significant revenue stream for professional baseball teams.

Neither Altafiber nor MLB provided additional details about when the broadcasting arrangement will begin or what specific games will be included in the coverage agreement.
