DIRECTV Gets the MLB Network

It’s all new, and you can get it on DIRECTV. For all the baseball fans out there, there is a network to call home, the MLB Network, designed specifically and only for baseball. Commissioner Bud Selig calls this “the ultimate television destination for baseball.” And you are sure to have your entertainment dreams fulfilled with this addition.

Selig states that “Baseball holds a special place in the fabric of American culture. For more than a century, during both good times and periods of turmoil, fans have enjoyed our nation's pastime. Baseball has created a common bond among the generations and enduring memories for all of us throughout its long and distinguished history.

“I am proud to introduce you to MLB Network, which will give fans a new way to enjoy baseball. MLB Network will provide you with in-depth coverage, live games, unique programming and unprecedented access to Major League Baseball. With more than 150,000 hours of archival footage from MLB Productions, MLB Network will show you the greatest moments in baseball history. I would like to thank you our fans for your continued support and for tuning in to be part of this historic day for Major League Baseball.”

One thing that is different about the MLB Network is that it is free; if the operator carries it, you don’t have to pay any additional fees. DIRECTV is proud to offer the MLB Network free of cost to its subscribers. Already a leader in the sports area of broadcasting, this is one more way that DIRECTV shows it is committed to delivering the best.

Fifteen year old Elizabeth Dreeson, a Red Sox fan wrote, “There will finally be an entire channel devoted specifically to baseball: all baseball, all the time. The fact that it's on air 24/7 for 365 days means that I'll always be able to watch baseball no matter what, and that's very reassuring. It's like 'Baseball Tonight' all the time with special features that really bring the magic of the game to life.” To get the most of the sports industry, give DIRECTV a try, it now offers the all new MLB Network.
