The Baseball Network was a short-lived television broadcastingjoint venture between ABC, NBC and Major League Baseball. Under the arrangement, beginning in the 1994 season, the league produced its own in-house telecasts of games, which were then brokered to air on ABC and NBC. This was perhaps most evident by the copyright beds shown at the end of the telecasts, which stated "The proceeding program has been paid for by the office of The Commissioner of Baseball". The Baseball Network was the first television network in the United States to be owned by a professional sports league.
The package included coverage of games in primetime on selected nights throughout the regular season (under the branding Baseball Night in America), along with coverage of the postseason and the World Series. Unlike previous broadcasting arrangements with the league, there was no national "game of the week" during the regular season; these would be replaced by multiple weekly regional telecasts on certain nights of the week. Additionally, The Baseball Network had exclusive coverage windows; no other broadcaster could televise MLB games during the same night that The Baseball Network was televising games.

Baseball Network Theme 1994 1995 (Various Cuts)
The Baseball Network was a joint venture between NBC and ABC from 1994 and 1995. Here is its theme.
published: 10 Feb 2014
1994 MLB: Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds - ABC-TV (The Baseball Network) 7/16/1994
Opening night for the much-hyped ABC-TV concept The Baseball Network features a matchup between the Chicago Cubs and 1st place Cincinnati Reds at Riverfront Stadium. Marty Brennaman and Thom Brennaman have the call, with a brief introduction by Al Michaels. John Saunders is at the update desk.
Mike Morgan is on the mound for Chicago and John Roper pitches for Cincinnati.
The Baseball Network dramatically changed the concept of nationally broadcast games; instead of two games being played simultaneously on Saturday afternoon with 75/25 distribution - The Game of the Week - six were played on Saturday night, with heavily regionalized coverage roughly tied to the new six division MLB alignment.
