Fox Sports World Español has picked up a new Major League Baseball highlights
show produced by the league's in-house television unit.
Sabor a Béisbol (Baseball Flavor) premiered on FSW Español May 31,
but MLB and Fox formally announced the series' existence Monday. The series will
run 20 weeks, concluding in early October.
As with MLB's long-running This Week in Baseball series in
syndication, Sabor will spotlight game highlights and player profiles and
have a MLB star host each episode.
However, the program will have a few feature twists, including fashion and
lifestyle segments.
The Gillette Co. and New Era Cap Co. are among the program's sponsors.
Univision Communications Inc. and New York local radio personality Celines
Toribio is the show's co-host.
