After Diamond Sports Group was unable to make payments to the Arizona Diamondbacks, and DSG's contract was subsequently rejected by a bankruptcy court judge, Major League Baseball's Local Media department sprung into action and took over production and distribution of all local games starting on July 18. In addition to their local production of ballgames for the San Diego Padres, the league implemented a handful of new technologies that aren't typically seen at the local level. 

In this latest edition of SVG Rewind, we speak with MLB's SVP/Executive Producer of Local Media, Doug Johnson, about the acquisition of both Ump Cam and Wire Cam for regular season DBacks games, moments where these two pieces of equipment made a difference on the broadcast, his transition from the regional-sports-network sector of the business to his current role, reflects on how the entire regular season went, and what's in store for the 2024 season.
