NBC Sports to Present New Series CAUGHT LOOKING, 8/15

Major League Baseball Productions and NBC Sports Group today announced a deal to collaborate on a new series titled CAUGHT LOOKING, which will debut Wednesday, August 15, at 9:00 p.m. ET, with a new episode scheduled to air each subsequent week on Thursdays through October 4. Each original episode will be one hour in length and will air on NBC Sports Network.

Caught Looking will give baseball fans an exclusive look inside a specific weekend series, as Major League Baseball Productions cameras follow players, managers and front office personnel from both teams. Cameras will follow the two respective teams as they arrive at the ballpark, take batting practice, compete and prepare for each game. A different series will be featured in each episode, as the final eight weeks of the season unfolds.

"We're committed to developing compelling behind-the-scenes programming, and our fans have consistently responded very positively to everything we do to bring them a closer view of our game," said Chris Tully, Senior Vice President, Broadcasting, Major League Baseball. "We're pleased to be working with the NBC Sports Group on this project, which will provide a unique glimpse inside the inner workings of multiple clubs during the stretch run."

"Caught Looking is emblematic of the high-quality and exclusive programming we are developing for the NBC Sports Network." said Jon Miller, President of Programming, NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network. "NBC and Major League Baseball have a long history of working together and we are very happy to be collaborating with Major League Baseball Productions on this endeavor."

On November 8, NBC Sports Network will air a special postseason episode of Caught Looking which will feature the two teams playing in the 2012 World Series.
