A package of Milwaukee Brewers baseball telecasts this season will be carried on over-the-air television in the Milwaukee market, where all games for the last two seasons have been on cable TV only.
Fox Sports Net North, which owns the exclusive rights to Brewers broadcasts, struck a deal with WMLW-TV (Channel 41) that calls for 15 regular-season Brewers telecasts and a Brewers-Chicago Cubs spring training game March 19, to air on Channel 41.
"People who don't have cable TV will be able to get some Brewers games," said Brian Peterson, a spokesman for FSN North. "That's the key."
This season, 140 regular-season Brewers games are scheduled to air on TV, the most in the club's history. FSN North, which is to carry 125 Brewers games, will produce the telecasts carried on Channel 41. Viewers outside the Milwaukee market will get those 15 games in simulcast on FSN North.
