essaychess

essaychess says: Network coverage of the All-Star Game began in 1950. The 1950 All-Star Game at Chicago's Comiskey Park -- which was the first extra inning contest in All-Star Game history -- was covered by NBC with Jack Brickhouse announcing. Only three cameras -- all black and white -- were used. The game was broadcast by 48 stations and was viewed by an estimated 10 million fans. NBC provided continuous coverage of the All-Star Game from 1950 to 1975. Beginning in 1976, ABC and NBC alternated coverage, with ABC televising during the even-numbered years and NBC televising during odd-numbered years. From 1990-1993, CBS provided exclusive coverage of the All-Star Game. In 1994 and 1995, The Baseball Network, a joint partnership of ABC, NBC and Major League Baseball, produced coverage of the Midsummer Classic.

But apparantly the first game on TV was actually in 1939, played at Yankee Stadium.
