MLB has signed a new television contract.
This new agreement further expands Major League Baseball's relationship with Turner Sports. Through 2013, TBS will telecast all regular season tie-breaker games, all Division Series games and the All-Star Game Selection Show each year. In addition, beginning in 2008, TBS will telecast a window of Major League Baseball games on 26 Sunday afternoons. TBS will continue to air Atlanta Braves' games through 2007, a year in which the new contract will co-exist with the previous one.

Earlier this year, Major League Baseball and FOX reached a deal providing for FOX to telecast the All-Star Game and the World Series through 2013 and the "FOX Saturday Baseball Game of the Week" on up to 26 weeks per season, an increase from 18 weeks in the previous agreement. As part of that deal, FOX will also broadcast the American League Championship Series in 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013 and the National League Championship Series in 2008, 2010 and 2012.
In 2005, Major League Baseball and ESPN reached a new eight-year agreement which grants ESPN the right to televise up to 80 Major League Baseball regular-season games per season across the ESPN networks through 2013 as well as the rights to several of the Major League Baseball All-Star Week events, including the All-Star Home Run Derby, Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game, and the XM Satellite Radio All-Star Futures Game.
If you have one of them new fangled HD TV sets and don't live in Atlanta: you will be watching the games broadcast by Turner in low def. As of right now, Turner Broadcasting only offers HD in the Big Peach.
Just letting you know.
