They're introducing what they're about every hour. It's channel 410 on Comcast. Don't know what the HD is although they say they have HD. Looks like Harold Reynolds, Barry Larkin, Joe Magrane, Al Leiter and Dan Plesac are the former players on this Network. I didn't know Plesac was a part of this. Is he still gonna do Cubs pre and post? Maybe he's just part time at MLB Net. Bob Costas and Matt Vasgersian are a part of it. I think Costas will do games and some studio hosting. Vazcursion will be their main guy. They also introduced this cute little Asian girl and a blondy girl. I guess they're studio hosts too. Studios are in New Jersey. They say they'll only have 26 games this year. I'll bet that goes up once the ESPN and TBS contracts expire. In their intro that they do every hour they say they'll have their own MLB Net cameras at every game. Diffrent than the local game broadcast cameras. They control them from the studio. They will do live look-ins for big moments, close games or no-hitters. Right now they have a "Hot Stove" show. During the season they'll have a "MLB tonight" show with all of the highlights of course. |

Hopefully, they'll take Joe Morgan from ESPN, so we could get a decent Sunday Night baseball broadcast for once. |

I just turned it on and they are showing a replay of the '04 WS between the Red Sox and Cardinals followed by 'Red Sox Memories'. I hope Musty Bobby has picture-in-picture-in-picture so he can watch all the hometown Red Sox coverage on NESN, ESPN and the MLB network. |

Are they planning on having a few games a week on that channel? I know there's ESPN and FOX deals that probably would prevent them from having another national game on at the same time, but it would a bit disapointing if they didn't have 2-3 games on a week on days when there are no ESPN/Fox games (which leaves Tuesday and Thursday/Friday's and some Monday's). |

They said they're gonna have 26 games. MLB season is 24 weeks. I'm Polish and I can figure out that's almost one game a week. |

For anyone out west (Rock Falls/Dixon) Comcast 516 can't believe I didn't have to pay for it. |
