DIRECTV HD to Broadcast all MLB 2007 Postseason Games

If you are a fan of both DIRECTV HD and Major League Baseball (MLB), and want the best seat in the house without leaving home, you are in for a treat this fall.

DIRECTV have announced that they will carry both FOX and Turner Broadcasting (TBS) HD broadcasts of the postseason MLB 2007 games. As well as those games, DIRECTV will also offer FOX Sports' coverage of the American League Championship Series and the 2007 World Series in HD.

TBS in HD is scheduled to launch on DIRECTV in September and for the first time ever will feature exclusive broadcasts of the MLB Division Series and National League Championship Series.

TBS in HD will be added to the DIRECTV HD programming lineup, which will be home to the up to 100 new national HD channels DIRECTV will make available by the end of 2007.

DIRECTV's industry leading lineup of HD sports programming includes up to 10 MLB games a week in HD and also plans to offer all MLB games produced in HD beginning with the 2008 season.

DIRECTV also offers NBA and NHL games in HD, and through its exclusive NFL SUNDAY TICKET(TM) Superfan subscription, DIRECTV customers have access to more than 180 NFL games in HD.

"Our goal for some time now has been to make DIRECTV the premier destination for HD fans across the country and we are very close to making that a reality," said Eric Shanks, executive vice president of DIRECTV Entertainment. "Our customers are counting on us to provide them with not only the most HD programming, but also the best quality HD programming available. We can't think of a better way to watch the MLB postseason on FOX and TBS than in DIRECTV's glorious HD."

Customers who are interested in adding HD Access to their base programming package for $9.99 per month can contact 1-800-DIRECTV or visit DIRECTV.com for details.
