Posted by Soulskill on from the just-blackout-the-tigers-please dept.

Gamasutra reports that "ESPN and MLB Advanced Media are extending their current digital rights agreement through 2013, and expanding it to allow Major League Baseball content delivery through video game console services. In addition to delivering live game streaming through ESPN properties ESPN360.com and ESPN Mobile TV, the cable television network's agreement expansion includes 'alternative platforms,' like Xbox Live via its Marketplace, along with other download services like the iTunes Store and portable devices like Microsoft's Zune." Further details for the rest of the digital rights agreement are also available.

    This story has some interesting details. The summary has no submitter, and the subject isn't that interesting to Slashdotters, but it does happen to have a number of high-value adwords like 'baseball' that brings in higher paying Google ads. Of course, if no one clicks on them, then they still generate zero income. Weird.
