NESN, New England’s premier sports network, on Tuesday announced an all-out programming slate, delivering fans cross-platform coverage as the Boston Red Sox prepare to face the New York Yankees in the Wild Card round starting Tuesday, Sept. 30. Coverage begins today at 2:30 p.m. ET with a live workout show from Yankee Stadium, led by NESN studio talent in Watertown with sideline reporter Jahmai Webster reporting from the Bronx.
NESN will air pregame and postgame shows around every playoff game, one-hour live shows during off-day workouts, and twice-weekly episodes of “310 to Left,” the Red Sox VODcast hosted by Tom Caron. Programming will air across NESN, NESN 360, NESN Nation, and NESN’s YouTube channel, with “310 to Left” also available on all major podcast platforms. NESN 360 will air full-game replays after every matchup along with highlights from key moments of the season, and “Boston Has Entered the Chat” will have daily discussions, game recaps, and game previews each weekday.
Caron will anchor coverage with insight from a rotating cast that includes Lou Merloni, Lenny DiNardo, Will Middlebrooks, Jonathan Papelbon, Jim Rice, and other NESN analysts.
“There are few things quite like fall baseball in New England, so we’re excited to bring fans comprehensive coverage as the Red Sox run through the postseason,” said David Wisnia, President & CEO of NESN and SportsNet Pittsburgh. “From live game-day coverage to behind-the-scenes workouts and daily podcasts, our goal is to bring viewers closer to the team, wherever and however they want to watch.”
