1994 MLB: Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds - ABC-TV (The Baseball Network) 7/16/1994

Opening night for the much-hyped ABC-TV concept The Baseball Network features a matchup between the Chicago Cubs and 1st place Cincinnati Reds at Riverfront Stadium. Marty Brennaman and Thom Brennaman have the call, with a brief introduction by Al Michaels. John Saunders is at the update desk. Mike Morgan is on the mound for Chicago and John Roper pitches for Cincinnati. The Baseball Network dramatically changed the concept of nationally broadcast games; instead of two games being played simultaneously on Saturday afternoon with 75/25 distribution - The Game of the Week - six were played on Saturday night, with heavily regionalized coverage roughly tied to the new six division MLB alignment.
