Fox cuts baseball, Turner gets a new package
The Fox network will significantly reduce its $417 million a year payment for major league baseball for the next seven years with a deal down to $250 million a year. There's a catch: It will only get to air one League Champion Series and no divisional series. All divisional series will go in a new package created for Turner Sports, which will also have a slate of nonexclusive Sunday games. Executives estimate Turner paid around $120 million per year.

So maybe MLB did not lose as much as the headlines suggest. This reminds me that if you want to pay Major League Baseball for a package, you can access all the games directly from their web site.

The video quality is good. Perhaps its best attribute is that you can watch while pretending to work.
