In early January, Baseball TV France announced that it would no longer be able to publish articles or broadcast games.
The reactions were swift. Numerous, moving, and sometimes worried, they mostly brought solutions. Your public or private messages reminded us of one essential thing: beyond a media outlet, Baseball TV France is a collective adventure. And this mobilization gave us the desire to fight, together, to continue.
Being a volunteer means investing time, energy… and also financial resources. Since its inception, Baseball TV France has relied on personal funds and occasional support, which are no longer renewed.
In a classic, professional model, the application and broadcasts would have been made paid. But that’s not our choice: we are not a for-profit organization, and we want to remain accessible to all.
Following your many suggestions, we have decided to launch a call for donations, via a participatory financing platform, here for the entire baseball, softball, and baseball5 community.
For the sake of transparency, it is essential to specify that the hosting costs of the application and website amount to 3000 € per year. These fees directly condition the possibility of continuing to publish, broadcast, and inform.
Because Baseball TV France is not just a media outlet.
It is one of the voices of French baseball, softball, and Baseball5.
The one that tells the story of your clubs, your players, your fields, your passions — where often, the major media outlets are silent.
Behind each article, each broadcast game, each interview, there is a team of 100% volunteer journalists, driven by one thing: the love of our sports.
Today, this voice needs your support.
Not to grow,
Not to generate profits,
but simply to continue to exist and to bring to life the news of French baseball, softball, and Baseball5 in 2026.
If you believe that these sports deserve to be seen, told, and shared,
if Baseball TV France informs, gathers, or moves you,
we invite you, with humility, to help us continue the adventure.
Every donation counts.
Every gesture makes a difference.
And together, we can ensure that this voice does not fade away. ⚾🥎
THANK YOU
