MLB
Network today announced a deal with the National Football League to
carry 14 preseason games this upcoming August, in an attempt to boost
sagging ratings.
"This is an exciting deal for this network,"
said MLB Network president Rich Yarborough. "To be able to carry the
great NFL product on our airwaves, it's quite an honor. We think it's
going to go well with our new show that we're going to run every
evening, Football Tonight. It covers all the latest news over in the
NFL, and we think baseball fans are really going to enjoy it. Baseball
Tonight has been bumped back to 1:00 AM, but we feel it's still a very
important part of our channel's lineup."
