A Network to Satisfy the Appetite of Baseball-Hungry Fans
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
Published: October 2, 2008

Major League Baseball does not believe there is enough baseball on television.

Not on local and regional TV. Not on Fox, ESPN, TBS or MLB.com.

It wants ubiquity, a 24/7 home, so it is building its own cable channel, the MLB Network, in Secaucus, N.J., with opening day scheduled for Jan. 1. The idea behind a league-owned network is not new. The N.F.L., the N.B.A. and the N.H.L. preceded baseball, but all share a goal: to feed a rabid fan base and to relentlessly promote their sport.

“We want to be the authentic home of baseball,” said Tony Petitti, the president of the new network and the former No. 2 executive at CBS Sports behind Sean McManus. Petitti has never worked professionally in baseball, but he was a catcher at Haverford College (class of 1983).

His coach, Greg Kannerstein, who is now the college’s dean, said Friday that Petitti was “a good catcher with a rifle arm” who, “if he had hit a little better, he’d have played major league baseball instead of televising it.”

Unsuccessful talks between CBS and baseball two years ago led Petitti to the MLB Network. “He was incredibly thoughtful and honest in our discussions,” said Tim Brosnan, baseball’s executive vice president for business. “He’s uniquely qualified.”

The shift to running a baseball network, rather than overseeing production of all of CBS’s sports, means focusing on a sport whose fans have local appetites.

They follow their teams on local outlets or on Fox, ESPN or TBS.

“We want to be the next choice for baseball fans,” Petitti said. “We want them to know that we’re here, and we can get you caught up. We’re another tool to enjoy the game.”

Petitti spoke during a tour of the network’s building in an industrial park, the former MSNBC studio where Keith Olbermann fulminated and tossed crumpled paper. Baseball had expected to make Secaucus a temporary stop until a proposed building in Harlem was ready. But the real estate deal in Harlem is dormant, if not altogether dead.

And baseball’s conversion of what MSNBC left behind into an all-high-definition facility augurs for a lengthy stay. The project is costing about $54 million, an investment that led New Jersey last month to approve an $8 million employment incentive grant. “This is likely to be our permanent place,” Petitti said.

The architectural plans for the facility look lavish, with two enormous studios (one is designed to look like a ballpark). But the network will be judged by its programming, including the centerpiece “MLB Tonight” studio program, which during the season will offer updates, live game look-ins and wrap-ups from 7 p.m. until at least 1 a.m. Eastern.

The network will install two robotic cameras at each stadium to enhance its studio programming. “There’s enough interest in what we’ll do,” Petitti said. “We’re selling the accumulation of everything. It’s not about access to one club; it’s about access to all 30.”

One live regular-season game will be seen on the network on either Thursday or Saturday night. But it will be a simulcasted version of a game produced in one of the teams’ local markets, and the MLB Network feed will be seen only outside that area.

There will also be archival, hot stove, reality, youth and spring training programming, as well as World Baseball Classic, minor league and Caribbean World Series games.

The roster of commentators is expected to include Harold Reynolds and Al Leiter, but one of Petitti’s tasks will be to hire someone to be the undisputed voice of the network.

If the MLB Network wants to be the fan’s second choice, as Petitti said, then must it convert devotees of ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight” or regional networks to its side?

Petitti said the MLB channel’s all-baseball format would rope in enough viewers to make the venture succeed. Len DeLuca, an ESPN senior vice president, said, “We feel the MLB Network will draw more fans to the set, which can only benefit our franchises, ‘Baseball Tonight’ and Sunday night and Monday and Wednesday night baseball.”

Still, Tom Werner, a Red Sox owner, said: “If you create a channel for baseball, you’re competing with ESPN because ESPN is the place where you’d find information about baseball. Hopefully, we’ll be the source if you want to know what’s going on.”

Thanks to negotiations, some bizarre and some fractious, the MLB Network will begin with an endowment of more than 50 million subscribers, which will provide the channel with a level of cash that Werner said would make it break even immediately.

Baseball is swapping one-third ownership of its channel with DirecTV, Comcast, Time Warner and Cox for wide distribution, thus avoiding the kind of ongoing distribution turf war that the NFL Network is having with Big Cable.

“Anybody with 50 million or more in distribution has a salable, working business model,” said Neal Pilson, an industry consultant. “Tony’s challenge will be to have provocative, interesting and stimulating programming.”

no idea obviously how this is going to turn out but i started using mlb.tv this year and it's awesome (it actually made me feel endeared to fuckin major league baseball) so i have some hopes for this in terms of innovation and what not

HR tips his hat at the Reds for acquiring Taveras.

WTF this show just asserted that geronimo's apaches played a game of baseball against the us army (and won)??? i cant find anything about this online. there was a olde tymey picture of some indian ass dudes wearing APACHE uniforms tho so i guess it must be true.

also there was just a commercial for the home run derby, which seems retarded to me if you already know who won, it's not like something like a dunk contest where the spectacle of the dunk is an inherently exciting thing to behold

also the graphics on this shit are like some local news broadcast, when i saw an ad for the hot stove show out of the corner of my eye i thought it was a preview of the 11 o clock news

Dr Morbius, Thursday, 8 January 2009 14:52 (sixteen years ago)

This morning's "legendary game" was a Pirate-Cub battle from the early '90s? About all I caught was Mike Harkey pitching to Jay Bell! Anyone know what that was?

Dr Morbius, Monday, 12 January 2009 15:09 (sixteen years ago)

I just noticed this thing last night. Spent the afternoon watching the thrilling near-conclusion of the 2008 World Series.

This channel's free, but NFL is still premium. Go figure.

The Pirate-Cub game had something to do with Andre Dawson, I think.

From the link posted by Thermo in the '08 retirees thread:

Former Red Sox first baseman Sean Casey is officially retiring, having signed on with the MLB Network. Casey, The 34-year-old, who played in 69 games with Boston last season, hitting .322, finishes his 12-season career with a .302 lifetime batting average to go along with three All-Star appearances. Casey’s role with the network has yet to be defined.

And for having such a hard-on for smallball, he sure didn't move over many runners.

"In 1988 you'll notice that most of the times I was caught stealing, it was the third out of the inning and I was taking one for the team because we knew Henry Cotto could do special things leading off that next inning, rather than with two outs and me on first."

Not 100% sure if I heard HR correctly, but I believe he said Mauer hurts his case for MVP because HE IS A CATCHER, which means he cannot play every day, unlike Derek Jeter.

And I think I heard him say that Mauer played in 130 games (he played 138) while Jeter played every day (actually 153), for a 32 game difference (technically less than half of that, but whatever).

HR said JM played in 110 games -- cherry picking that he had, in fact, played in 138 games (DH, etc).

Meatcat (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Friday, 6 November 2009 17:11 (fifteen years ago)

I'm so glad I won't even hear HR by accident all winter, at least

Your Favorite Saturday Night Thing (Dr Morbius), Friday, 6 November 2009 17:22 (fifteen years ago)

Mauer was injured for the start of the season, and returned on May 1st. He missed 22 games because of injury. Besides the injury, he only missed two games. So what the fuck is harold on about.

Al Michaels and Bob Costas are doing the Mets vs. Giants game tonight at 7PM.

The first three innings will be fairly basic, with Costas calling the first inning and a half and Michaels the next inning and a half. They'll speak directly to fans of both teams by switching to SportsNet New York's booth for the fourth and fifth innings before taking over ComCast SportsNet Bay Area's broadcast for the sixth and seventh innings (Krukow and Kuiper will handle MLB Network duties during that span). Then it's back to the MLB Network telecast for both Michaels and Costas.

For the inaugural event, the Celebrity Softball Game during All-Star Week, the virtual ballpark will feature a live stream of the game on the virtual ballpark's video board

so you can go to a virtual ballpark to watch a game unfold on a little two-dimensional screen beyond the virtual outfield

For the MLB virtual ballpark, that could mean fans talking to each other, walking through the stadium together, meeting in the concourse
