This caps a series of comprehensive 'new world' agreements, clearly demonstrating that ESPN and Major League Baseball share the same vision - to serve fans through the highest quality content and cutting edge technology. Today, we have significantly enhanced the value of our summer cornerstone television programming with increased team appearances on Sunday nights, exclusive blackout lift rights on Monday nights and more game and studio flexibility to showcase the great sport of baseball like no other media company.
