Networks May Unite For Baseball Rights
Ben Grossman
Is Fox willing to share MLB package?
News Corp. is considering a partnership with another network, possibly NBC , to cover the cost of new broadcast rights for Major League Baseball .
Only last month, President Peter Chernin said Fox would walk away from baseball if the economics didn't make sense.
Fox holds the broadcast rights to baseball's post-season through this fall's World Series , when its six-year, $2.6 billion deal expires. The network has lost $200 million in the deal.
