The MLB Network Launches Website, Promotes Opening Week
Tuesday, December 16, 2008
The MLB Network's website went live recently, and not only is it very pretty (almost like a usable version of the actual MLB site), but it even includes a bunch of promo vids for you to peruse. I decided to ummm....borrow....the one that details the first week of coverage starting in January, and share it with you below....
Here's also a look at what you can look for on Opening Day, if you're one of the lucky 50 million people or so to get the network:

I posted this earlier but not sure if anyone saw it...I was surfing channels last night when I found the MLB Network already airing on Ch. 280 (Philly area Comcast subscriber)...They were showing a documentary of the 2005 World Series, looks like this will be a great channel once it fully launches next year.
hmmm....all time games and hot stove.
just like cheese and snow

Anybody know of any way to determine which cable outlets it will be available on?
I know it will be on Comcast, Cox, Direct TV and Verizon Fios. Besides that I'm not sure.
its on IO digital cable (channel 149;790 in HD)
I'm still getting the 2005 World Series film all over again. On my Philly Comcast, it's on Channel 280.
I'm getting the same programing on my Comcast cable in the Philly area. However, I havnen't been able to get the MLB Net HD channel yet. But I'm sure if they don't have it now, they'll have soon.
Still getting the 2005 World Series here in Philly (again, Ch. 280)
Well, its clear that if you are a Comcast Cable costumer in the Philly area, you'll get the new MLB net on channel 280. Because I'm getting baseball programing on that channel.
Optimum (Cablevision in NY/NJ/CT) will also carry MLB Network. Official sign-on date is New Year's Day.
We have established that, Anon 12:37 PM. No need to rub it in.
Actually, MLB Net will debut on New years day at 6:00 PM ET.
I'm sure that Kevin and YanksFan12 were watcihng a promo loop to celebrate the Phils' World Series win this year.
I just tuned to channel 213, which will be its home on DirecTV, and got a "channel not available" message. Obviously, MLBN is still a few days away from the air.
Also: it will not be shown on Dish Network or AT&T U-verse, at least not at first.
