Major League Baseball, TBS and FOX have adjusted the broadcast schedule for the League Championship Series to deal with the decidedly West Coast appeal of the Diamondbacks/Rockies matchup.
As reported by Eric Fisher of the Sports Business Journal: Eschewing the plan in recent years in which some LCS games began at 4:00pm ET, ALCS Games One-Five on Fox will begin at either 7:00pm or 8:00pm, and Games One-Six of the NLCS on TBS will begin at either 8:30pm or 10:00pm.
The following is an updated schedule as reported by the Sports Business Daily: | ALCS GAME | MATCHUP | DATE | TIME (ET) | | One | Indians-Red Sox | Friday, October 12 | 7:00pm | | Two | Indians-Red Sox | Saturday, October 13 | 8:00pm | | Three | Red Sox-Indians | Monday, October 15 | 7:00pm | | Four | Red Sox-Indians | Tuesday, October 16 | 8:00pm | | Five* | Red Sox-Indians | Thursday, October 18 | 8:00pm | | Six* | Indians-Red Sox | Saturday, October 20 | TBD | | Seven* | Indians-Red Sox | Sunday, October 21 | TBD | | NLCS GAME | MATCHUP | DATE | TIME (ET) | | One | Rockies-D’Backs | Thursday, October 11 | 8:30pm | | Two | Rockies-D’Backs | Friday, October 12 | 10:00pm | | Three | D’Backs-Rockies | Sunday, October 14 | 8:30pm | | Four | D’Backs-Rockies | Monday, October 15 | 10:00pm | | Five* | D’Backs-Rockies | Wednesday, October 17 | 8:30pm | | Six* | Rockies-D’Backs | Friday, October 19 | 8:30pm | | Seven* | Rockies-D’Backs | Saturday, October 20 | TBD | * if necessary Source: Sports Business Daily  Maury Brown is the founder and president of the Business of Sports Network, which includes The Biz of Baseball, The Biz of Football and The Biz of Basketball (The Biz of Hockey will be launching shortly).
