This spring, FOX Sports and MLB Network team to present fans with a new-look and expanded pregame show prior to the FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK, it was announced today by Eric Shanks, Co-President and COO, FOX Sports Media Group and FOX Sports Executive Producer, and Tony Petitti, President and CEO of MLB Network. FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL PREGAME SHOW, a full 30-minute program, originates live from MLB Network’s state-of-the-art Studio 3 in Secaucus, NJ and is hosted by longtime FOX Sports and MLB Network broadcaster Matt Vasgersian. He’s joined each week by a rotating roster of MLB Network’s studio analysts including Harold Reynolds, Mitch Williams, Eric Byrnes and Kevin Millar. Chris Rose, host of FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL since 2009, devotes his complete energy this year to his role as host of MLB Network’s popular show, Intentional Talk. This collaboration is the latest example of unprecedented cooperation between FOX Sports and MLB Network since its launch in 2009. In addition to sharing below-the-line resources and video, the networks have shared numerous on-air personalities including Vasgersian and Rose as well as Millar, Williams and reporter Ken Rosenthal. The new pregame show runs 30-minutes most weeks with the exception of FOX SATURDAY BASEBALL GAME OF THE WEEK’s eight consecutive primetime dates, when the pregame show is 15-minutes long beginning at 7:00 PM ET. The 2012 MLB on FOX season opens on Saturday, April 7 at 3:30 PM ET with a grand slam lineup featuring the Boston Red Sox with new manager Bobby Valentine visiting the Detroit Tigers and new slugger Prince Fielder (Joe Buck/Tim McCarver).
