July 15, 200817 yr Nice, Cox Cable owns part of the channel so I'm sure I'll be getting the MLB Channel right at launch (and probably in HD).

Let ESPN do that. Where in MLB is there better room for revenue growth? Trying to squeeze more ticket sales out of the NY and Boston media markets, or by bringing other teams up on to a national stage? How much potential revenue growth is there from bringing teams like the Rays and Marlins right now out of the shadows? Or think about the last few years, every year there's been at least a couple of surprise playoff teams that no one knew beforehand. The Tigers, the White Sox, the Indians, the Rockies, the D-Backs? MLB has already built Ortiz, Jeter, ARod in to stars. If they want to build their game even more, they need to build up some of the other guys out there. Verlander. Longoria and the rest of the Rays. The Uptons. Josh Hamilton (how many people out there have ever watched him play a full game? Or at least had done so before the Rangers played the Sox?). And so on.
July 15, 200817 yr If it's anywhere close to as good as the NFL network it will be great. I hope they show a lot more classic games, world series highlights, etc.
