Could Rays TV Deal Bring Hope to Fans? with Longtime Media Executive Jim Williams | Locked On Rays

Locked On Rays- Daily Podcast On The Tampa Bay Rays

Part 2 with Jim Williams!

The Locked on Rays crew continues its in-depth conversation with Jim Williams – who, as a 7-time Emmy Award winning sports television producer, director and executive – continues to deliver fascinating insights into the intersection of media, MLB, and the business of sports.

He explores potential MLB expansion cities, the evolving dynamics of Rays ownership, and how regional and national television deals play a role in keeping the Rays in Tampa Bay. We also get Jim's take on the Rays playing at Steinbrenner Field in 2025, and how that environment impacts fans, players, and media alike.

Tune in for Jim's perspective on the future of baseball in Tampa Bay and beyond. This is part two of a two-part interview.
