Who is producing the games? I’m not as tuned in on MLS as other sports casters in the US.

Do local RSNs still produce the games and are supplying to Apple for national redistribution? Or is this like the EPL producing every game and selling to the highest bidder, in this case Apple?

No. There is no such thing as “local” broadcasts anymore. MLS will produce all the broadcasts as well as hire the PXP, analysts and studio hosts. They also allow fans to hear the local radio calls (if any) instead of their announcers.

That's great. I don't know if the other leagues would want to do that, too much money by diversifying, but its an intriguing thought.
