iPads using MLB feeds on the air ...

Viewers of Fox Sports Midwest's baseball telecasts have been seeing something new this past week. With the Cardinals' playoff chances being largely affected by what the Braves do, in-game highlights of the Atlanta games have been inserted into the St. Louis broadcasts as a way of keeping Cardinal fans up to date. The surprise is that these highlights are being downloaded by FSN producers outside in the truck onto their I-Pads from the MLB app and then rebroadcast! It also accounts for their slightly grainy images.
