NEW YORK - Major league baseball games will be carried on four Japanese television networks this year.
NHK (Japan Broadcasting), Sky PerfecTV!, TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System), and Fuji TV acquired rights in a license from Dentsu, which owns television and radio rights in Japan. All have previously broadcast major league games.
JOLF Radio/ Nippon Hoso (Nippon Broadcasting System) will continue as the exclusive radio network.
The major league season begins with a two-game series between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays in Tokyo on March 30-31. It will be the second time regular-season games will be played in Japan - the New York Mets and Chicago Cubs played two games in Tokyo to start the 2000 season.
