This article is totally sick. Check out the new category: Category:Sports television. 2004-12-29T22:45Z 07:17, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

If "sick" means overly long, disorganized, and trivial, I definitely agree with you. --Russ Blau (talk) 23:38, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

On 14 April 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to MLB on television. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Please summarise

This article is really not what is needed by a non-baseball afficionado who just wants to know how much money baseball makes out of TV at the moment (surely the most common query). Could this information, and perhaps a brief comparison with the other major North American sports, be added as an introducion? Thank you. Calsicol 16:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Holy moly

This article is incredibly long.AlanzoB 19:14, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This article lacks an intro or abstract before that "gi-normous" Table of Contents. I'm posting a cleanup tag for the article, cuz it is too long-winded. --Madchester 09:02, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm demanding you to stop adding cleanup tags for the article that I started. By this point, I've transfered a fairly sizable bulk of information into individual articles. I've tried to cut the context of the page to feature the exact rights fees.TMC1982

It's two and a half years later, and this article still needs cleanup. It contains too much detail and insufficient context and summary. It doesn't state how much money baseball is currently receiving from television, which is the key issue. It lacks information on international coverage and multimedia rights.

World Series begins on Tuesday now?

Can someone tell me why the World Series will now begin on Tuesday? Game #1 for the last fourteen World Series has been on a Saturday.Politician818 04:52, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to guess because sweeps are generally boring, and tougher to sell. They'd be a lot tougher to sell on a weeknight, don't you think? Starting on Tuesday ensures that games 4 and 5 are the weekend instead of in the middle of the week. Just a crackpot theory, I don't even know if it would sell better on the weekend.

MLB on NBC

Why are NBC and USA listed as TV partners for MLB in 2022? I've read nothing about NBC airing upcoming MLB games, despite searching all over the internet. Anyways, cite your source if you're adamant that you're right and I'm wrong.2601:645:4301:C100:EC1E:2BFA:CEE4:8679 (talk) 04:09, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to Merge. This has been open for a month and no one objected.Rusf10 (talk) 04:19, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging Major League Baseball on cable television into Major League Baseball on television. There is already a lot of overlap between the two articles. Plus we would still have Major League Baseball on regional sports networks and Major League Baseball on superstations to deal with the broadcast rights of specific teams (I am not proposing merging those).--Rusf10 (talk) 23:46, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support as proposer.--Rusf10 (talk) 23:50, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but I would also support merging those other articles (MLB on RSNs and MLB on superstations) into MLB on TV. The owner of all ✌️ 22:42, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
