FOX SPORTS SET FOR MOST COMPREHENSIVE, TECHNOLOGICALLY-ADVANCED WORLD SERIES COVERAGE EVER

Fall Classic Live Streamed for First Time Ever

New York - Since broadcasting its first Fall Classic in 1996, FOX Sports has grown to include a family of television networks and cutting edge digital media platforms serving sports fans from coast to coast. This year, FOX broadcast network, FOX Sports 1, FOX Sports Regional Networks, FOXSports.com, FOX Sports GO, FOX Sports Radio and FOX Deportes offer the most comprehensive coverage ever of Major League Baseball's World Series, as the American League Champion Kansas City Royals square off against the National League Champion San Francisco Giants. FOX Sports' coverage of the 110th Fall Classic, the 15th consecutive broadcast by FOX and the network's 17th overall, begins Tuesday, Oct. 21, live and in prime time from Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.

Seven-time Emmy Award-winner Joe Buck calls play-by-play for his 17th World Series, and this October welcomes analysts Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci into the broadcast booth, both calling their first World Series. MLB on FOX insider and FOXSports.com senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal and veteran reporter Erin Andrews offer coverage from the dugouts.

Kevin Burkhardt anchors FOX's World Series pregame and postgame coverage presented by Chevrolet live on site, and is joined by Cleveland Indians outfielder Nick Swisher and Gabe Kapler, both past World Champions, and Hall of Famer Frank Thomas for all games. Three-time World Champion and 2013 World Series MVP David Ortiz joins FOX's pregame and postgame coverage for Games 1 and 2. Special to Game 1, legendary Kansas City Royals third baseman George Brett introduces America to the Royals, who make their first appearance in the World Series since 1985.

Coming off its first-time coverage of MLB's Division and National League Championship Series which set multiple viewership records, FOX Sports 1, America's fastest growing cable network, bolsters FOX's broadcast coverage every day throughout the World Series with unparalleled access, tapping the resources of signature programs AMERICA'S PREGAME and FOX SPORTS LIVE. AMERICA'S PREGAME covers the 2014 Fall Classic beginning Tuesday, Oct. 21 (6:00 PM ET) with a special World Series edition of AMERICA'S PREGAME from the FOX Network Center in Los Angeles.

For decades the World Series has been a force in television programming, and the same is true today. Last fall, the World Series ranked as the fifth highest-rated and fifth most-watched show in prime time broadcast television, and also ranked in the top five in each of the following key demographics: Men 18-34, No. 2; Men 18-49, No. 2; Adults 18-34, T No. 2; and Adults 18-49, No. 4.

While prime time television viewership has fragmented over time, the World Series' rank relative to top prime shows has remained consistent. Last year's World Series, which ranked No. 5 in prime time, compares favorably to where past World Series ranked in their respective broadcast seasons: 2003, No. 7; 1993, No. 9; 1983, No. 6; 1973, No. 2.

Pete Macheska serves as lead MLB on FOX producer on FOX, producing his 11th World Series; Bill Webb directs. Kent Camera and Bardia Shah-Rais produce pregame and postgame coverage across FOX Sports' multiple television platforms. Judy Boyd is coordinating producer. Eric Shanks is President, COO and Executive Producer, and John Entz is Executive Vice President, Production & Executive Producer, of FOX Sports.
