MLB revives 'This Week in Baseball' as a digital series
NEW YORK (AP) --- Major League Baseball is bringing back "This Week in
Baseball" by giving it a digital flair.
The iconic series will be revived on Major League Baseball's X account, as well
as @XOriginals, every Friday at noon and will run through the postseason.
"This Week in Baseball" debuted in 1977 and was a weekly 30-minute program
produced by MLB that highlighted the major events of the past week. The show
was hosted by the late Hall of Fame announcer Mel Allen for many years. It ran
until 1998 and saw a second stint from 2000-11.
The new-look "TWIB" will have episodes ranging from 5 to 10 minutes. It will be
produced by MLB studios and include many segments from its predecessor,
including highlights, bloopers, player profiles and "TWIB Notes." Kait
Maniscalco will serve as the host.
