MLB Network

Petitti served as MLB Network's president until December 2014, when he was appointed as Chief Operating Officer of Major League Baseball.

On January 31, 2023, MLB Network was removed from YouTube TV's channel lineup after they failed to reach a contract renewal agreement.

[8] At launch, no announcement was made about MLB Network availability in Canada, home of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Network officials had been in contact with Blue Jays owner Rogers Communications (owner of Rogers Cable, the largest cable provider in Canada) about making MLB Network available in Canada, but emphasized prior to the channel's launch that a deal was not imminent.

[10] This license could have been used to launch a localized version of MLB Network with domestic advertising and additional Canadian content, along the lines of NBA TV Canada, which is owned by the parent company of the Toronto Raptors but uses much of the content of the league's U.S. channel NBA TV.

It was reported initially that Rogers intended to pursue this approach to bring MLB Network to Canada.

[14] In the interim, the Rogers-owned Sportsnet One aired selected programs from MLB Network, including Quick Pitch and Intentional Talk.

[12] MLB Network was added to Rogers Cable systems in Ontario on January 8, 2014, in both standard and high definition.

[30] International live-game coverage self-produced by MLB Network includes the World Baseball Classic and the Caribbean Series.

The channel also airs live and tape delayed spring training games, simulcasted from one of the team's local TV rightsholder's feed, or if not available, the spring training complex's internal scoreboard video feed with the team's radio network audio.

The show featured Matt Vasgersian or Greg Amsinger and two analysts from a rotating roster of MLB Network's personalities (Eric Byrnes, Kevin Millar, Dan Plesac, Harold Reynolds, Bill Ripken, or Mitch Williams).

The channel's format to similar to NFL RedZone and currently airs on Wednesday and Friday nights during the regular season.

The studio includes seating for over 125 people, along with elements such as a functioning manual scoreboard and a standings wall for each league and division.

On November 12, 2012, MLB Network introduced a third set, "Studio K", for the new daily morning offseason show Hot Stove and guests analysts/insiders on High Heat.

During the premiere episode, hosts Matt Vasgersian and Harold Reynolds said that the studio was constructed from the building's mailroom, explaining its small size.

[44] However, because of the Great Recession, the building project was scaled back and later canceled in late November 2008, with MLB deciding on a permanent setup in Secaucus instead.

[48] In February 2025, MLB Network announced plans to relocate to a new facility in Elmwood Park, New Jersey by 2028.

The new studios will be located at a development built on the site of the former Marcal Paper Company plant, which was destroyed by fire in 2019.
