TV Answer Man, any news on the Padres on TV this year? Where can we watch them? — Greg, La Jolla, California.
Greg, the San Diego Padres is not available this season on a regional sports network. Diamond Sports, the owner of Bally Sports San Diego, the former regional TV home of the Padres, decided to terminate its TV deal with the team last year as part of its bankruptcy reorganization plan.
