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.
