We, the undersigned, are deeply dismayed at the choice made by Channel Five to discontinue the coverage of Baseball on Sunday and Wednesday nights. We would sincerely appreciate the reintroduction of baseball on free-to-air television, rather than subscription based channels, like Setanta Sports or Sky Television.
For 12 years, the presenters have provided the following of Baseball within the United Kingdom with knowledge and entertainment unblemished against the more rigid standard forms of watching this glorious sport on television.
We, the Undersigned, would like to have fairness and equality and have terrestrial television stations in the United Kingdom broadcast the game we love.

    • remarkable te amount of dross your station puts out and you can't make room for a product that, even off the air, maintains cult status. you really need to consider your decision and how it's effecting the loyal fans of the show who have supported it for the last 12 years

    • I was shocked at the decision to withdraw your coverage of MLB on Channel 5. I have been an avid supporter of not only the Baseball, but also the quality of the show, for a number of years now. I ask you to reconsider your decision, and give the UK fans an opportunity to once again enjoy what was fine late night entertainment kindly supplied by Channel 5.

    • The commentary and analysis Josh and Johnny gave the sport they clearly loved was an underappreciated gem in all sports broadcasting.
