-
  • In a first, Facebook (FB +0.7%) has set a deal for exclusive rights to stream 25 Major League Baseball games.
  • Terms weren't disclosed, but Facebook will add that number in weekday afternoon baseball games (mainly Wednesdays) to a growing sports lineup. Facebook can also show the games globally though they won't be exclusives outside the U.S.
  • The deal, approved unanimously by MLB owners, gets started with an April 4 game between the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets.
  • It's the first time a major U.S. sports league has given Facebook exclusivity.
  • And production by the MLB Network will mean a polished presentation out of the box, but with Facebook able to experiment with social integration and graphics in the broadcast.
