FOX to broadcast 2 regular season night games

[Schwarber Fan]

MLB on FOX is moving to prime time.

 

For the first time in the network's 15 years of broadcasting Major League Baseball games, FOX has scheduled two nights of regular-season games as part of its 2010 Saturday schedule, according to a news release issued Wednesday by the network. These prime-time games are the first on national broadcast television for FOX since April 2004.

 

Depending on the region of the country, fans will be able to watch Interleague matchups of the Yankees-Mets, Red Sox-Phillies, Cubs-Rangers or Tigers-Dodgers on May 22. On the June 26 schedule will be Yankees-Dodgers, Red Sox-Giants or Cubs-White Sox.

 

All I'll see is the Yankees, but most of the NSBB community will get the Cubs I'd think.

I don't think the primetime game will be regional coverage, they'll just decide which one is in primetime leading up to the date.

That doesn't necessarily mean all those games are in prime time. I could very well be wrong though.

Cubs/ RANGERS?? Not a very sexy matchup.

My two favorite teams, a.k.a an extremely sexy match-up.

Agreed, couldn't they have the Cardinals play the St. Louis PD in a drunk driving game?

I like it but that is because it means I will most likely get that game in New Orleans.

How very selfless of Fox to give up time slots on their dynamite Saturday night broadcast schedule. I'm sure fans of Cops are going to be very disappointed that they'll have to endure baseball two times during their season run

[Bote McBoteface]

I hate Fox.

The UEFA Champions League final just so happens to be on May 22. Poor MLB gets bumped to prime time that night.

I'm not sure I see why Fox is getting bashed for this.

Personally I don't care, I just saw an opportunity to take a cheap shot at them and took it.
