Major League Baseball owners unanimously approved television deals worth $3 billion with Fox and TBS that run until 2013.
Under the deals, which begin next season, the World Series, All-Star games and Saturday afternoon regular-season broadcasts remain on Fox. Turner Broadcasting System will show all first-round playoff games, and the two networks will share the NL and AL championship series, alternating leagues each year.
Fox will have the ALCS next year, while TBS will have the NLCS. The start of the World Series also will be pushed back three days next year, from Saturday to Tuesday.
