The new deal provides TBS the exclusive telecasting rights to the National League Championship Series in 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013 and the American League Championship Series in 2008, 2010 and 2012.
It also 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.
Commissioner Bud Selig said: “Major League Baseball is thrilled to strengthen our association with Turner Sports, whose commitment to the game in both the regular season and during the first two rounds of the postseason is an exciting development for baseball fans.
“This new agreement, combined with our previously announced deals with Fox, Turner and ESPN, further enhances our impressive line-up of excellent television partners who share our great enthusiasm about the future of baseball.”
