Microsoft in Deal With Major League Baseball
From Bloomberg News
Microsoft Corp., which is trying to halt declines in MSN Internet subscriptions by selling Web software, said it had signed an agreement to broadcast Major League Baseball games to customers of MSN Web.
The agreement comes less than two months after Microsoft rival RealNetworks Inc. ended talks to extend its partnership with the league, saying the terms wouldn’t let the company turn a profit. MSN Vice President Yusuf Mehdi declined to discuss the terms of MSN’s deal but said MSN would be able to turn a profit.
