(From Newsday and Sports Business Daily)
MLB has told ESPN it will "not be allowed to do its customary special set at Tuesday night's ALL-STAR GAME for its SPORTSCENTER crew beyond having a reporter on the scene as any other TV outlet can,” according to NEWSDAY's NEIL BEST.
The move is "punishment for ESPN having reported the all-star selections Sunday afternoon even as TBS was doing so with a special show for which it had acquired rights."
ESPN "believed it had a right to do so given the fact the information had already been reported" by TBS and THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
