Commercial and pay-television broadcaster Modern Times Group has acquired rights in the Nordic region for North America’s Major League Baseball World Series.
The deal covers the 2015 series between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals, which got underway last night (Tuesday). The agreement means the World Series will be televised in the Nordic region for the first time since 2012.
The deal was brokered by the ESPN Media Distribution division of pay-television broadcaster ESPN.
MTG will broadcast every game of the seven-match series and will also show ESPN’s Baseball Tonight highlights programme throughout the series. Coverage will be available on TV3 Sport 1 in Denmark, Viasat Football in Norway, Viasat 16 in Sweden and Viasat Sport in Finland.
