MLB LAUNCHES NEW TV NETWORK

Major League Baseball has joined the NFL and NHL in creating its own cable television network. The MLB Network began broadcasting January 1, reaching over 50 million homes from their home in the revamped MSNBC studios is Secaucus, New Jersey.


The network is free to viewers on various cable networks, as well as satellite viewers on DirecTV channel 213. The MLB Network will carry 16 games from the World Baseball Classic in March, as well as re-airing the Ken Burns classic nine-episode “Baseball” miniseries on Tuesday nights, beginning this week. The network will visit a different major league team daily during spring training in March, and is in the process of installing two “ballpark cams” in each big league ballpark for in-game updates and postgame interviews during the season.
