What is MLB EXTRA INNINGS®?

MLB EXTRA INNINGS® is a digital programming package sold on a subscription basis comprised of regular season out-of-market MLB games.

 

• The games included in MLB EXTRA INNINGS® are in addition to those available on FOX, ESPN, ESPN2, TBS and a subscriber's in-market home team's network(s) (such as their Regional Sports Network or their team's over-the-air station affiliate). For example, if you live in Los Angeles and are a New York Yankees fan and you don't have MLB EXTRA INNINGS®, you could only see the Yankees when their games were broadcast nationally on FOX, ESPN, ESPN2, TBS or on a local sports network.
• With MLB EXTRA INNINGS® your customers get the available out-of-market games, up to 80 games a week, so they can watch games almost every night - right in their home.
• MLB EXTRA INNINGS® is designed for the MLB fan who wants to see more MLB action than the games played by their home team, available locally.
• Blackout Restrictions apply: This package will not include a subscriber's home team's games. The home team's games should be available on a viewer's regional sports network and/or the team's over-the-air station affiliate. See blackout information page for more details.

 

PACKAGE ENHANCEMENTS:

• Mosaic Channel: MLB EXTRA INNINGS® features a rotating Mosaic service with multiple screens that alternate viewing for the live games that are airing on in the package at that time. The channel can accommodate four games at a time, with added games rotating onto the screen. This service will reside on GAME1 except on nights when there are more than 14 simultaneous games, it will be pre-empted for the live games.
• Dual Feeds: Home and away feeds of select games will be included in the MLB EXTRA INNINGS® package (when available and when channel space allows). Normal blackout restrictions apply to the dual feeds & will match the original version of the game.
• HD Games: The GAMEHD channel will offer up to 24 HD games each week throughout the season for the MLB EXTRA INNINGS® package. HD carriage varies by system. Please check with your system to confirm availability.

ESPN GamePlan subscribers may receive some games via local TV stations. Those games may also be available in the subscription or, in limited situations, could be available only via the local station and not duplicated in the subscription.
