MLB Network Plans Wall-to-Wall World Series Coverage

With the World Series matchup set, MLB Network’s studio shows will hit the road as part of its expanded on-site programming, which began yesterday in Kansas City.

Studio coverage during MLB Tonight throughout the World Series will be anchored by Scott Braun, Fran Charles, and Paul Severino with analysis from Eric Byrnes, 2013 World Series champion Ryan Dempster, Cliff Floyd, Darryl Hamilton, and Bill Ripken. This marks the first World Series that both DeRosa and Dempster will cover as analysts.
