2003 Major League Baseball (MLB) Media Guide |
| This is a guide to media outlets (flagship radio and television stations, significant newspaper(s) covering the team that provide no-charge web page access to stories) for the 30 Major League Baseball teams. Announcers have also been listed when verified for each rightsholder and contract lengths given when those facts have been publically reported. |
Missing information is represented by dashes or by "TBA". If the rights expiration column has "Club", the baseball franchise and the rightsholder have some kind of ownership relationship (usually the club owns a stake in the rightsholder or a corporation owns stakes in both the rightsholder and the club). Rights should not expire except in special circumstances. |
Information has been compiled from major league teams' public relations departments and from broadcasters. Any missing information is due to the fact I have not been able to verify correct information for the 2003 season, the team or broadcaster has not answered my inquiry, or I'm missing some more specific info (i.e. the number of games broadcast by a specific broadcaster). |
If you can help fill in the gaps, please email me at roberts@nmia.com. |
Thanks to the following for adding information to this
