Arrive between 7-8 AM and write game notes for upcoming games (usually assigned 2-4 games a day). Packets containing notes for each game is usually released around 11 AM.
Afternoons vary. If researching for a specific show, I will usually create boards for graphics department to air on the program. If not assigned a show, a little less busy. I will usually assist with creating story lines for each game and researching any more statistical information that the on-air talent or graphics department additionally request.
The hardest part of the day is researching and writing game notes for each game. The most enjoyable part of the day is completing the research packet because a lot of work is accomplished in a short amount of time.
The work environment is inviting and friendly but also very productive. We accomplish a lot of quality work on a daily basis.

I worked there before the NHL got involved, so things may be different.  When I first started working there, I loved it.  It was everything I wanted out of a sports TV job.  However, there was a change in management and things got worse.  When I went to address an issue at work, I was told "We can hire someone just out of college at half the rate to do your job." I don't think that person works there anymore, but it got bad with certain people having power that they shouldn't.

This being said, a couple of shady characters didn't take away from the fact that this network knows how to produce television.  There was great satisfaction in many of the tasks that I performed.  I also loved that they encouraged individuality and creativity in your work.  There is space to learn and grow there.

A typical day at work involved speaking with employees about any issues or questions they have about their personal benefits with the company. I learned the typical work day at MLB Network. I learned about how the Human Resources department is operated and the purpose of the department. My co-workers were beyond friendly. I was always assisted when needed with pleasure. I did not find a "hard part" at the job. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with employees and learning about what their responsibilities are and how they ended up at MLB Network. 

Not an easy place to get work. Scheduling has their "main" people as they informed me when I asked about why so few days on my schedule. Some of the crew is good to work with while others view you as a problem taking "their" shifts from them as if they are entitled to it all. It's a very competitive environment for sure. I don't recommend working here unless you can leap frog and get your way on the A list of freelancers since staff jobs don't exist here.

My duties were limited so if the phone was not ringing there wasn't much else for me to do. I'm sure the on-air talent and staff were definitely busier as the network runs 24 hours

I have no opinion of a typical work day because my duties were separate and nothing like the rest of the building. One thing I observed was constant changes in scheduling and days off, as the majority of the staff is freelance. The shifts can be long depending on the time of year, but the breaks are usually more than one hour in-between

There is no typical day at MLB Network. It is an exciting 24/7 experience. It is an ambitious, yet team-oriented organization focused on providing the best possible insights and analysis of Major League Baseball. Management is demanding, but encouraging and fair. The hours and pace can be a challenge, but the ability to engage the "Grand Old Game" is its own reward.

Working for MLB Network was good and bad. The compensation was great, pay and benefits. The schedule was difficult at times if you are a family person. Management was difficult if you did not fit into their cliques. There is little or no chance for advancement and my co-workers were as many places some were very nice and helpful and some are not so easy to get along with. Overall my experience there was pretty good.

Learned Diamond Demo Program to log analysis on Live baseball games. Got to talk with live on air host such as Harold Reynolds and Billy Ripken. I enjoyed the baseball atmosphere as well as good management.

I was let go by e mail.I wasn't given a chance to speak to my boss to keep my job. Horrible culture no meal break no breaks of any kind.
Never knew when you where going home.Worst job I ever had
in television.I've been in the business for 35 years.I would never
recommend MLB to anyone.

I loved working here. Stressful sure, its live TV. But, that is what made it fun. Left because of travel and hours not worth income. Had I lived closer and I been told I could guarantee 40 hours in off season I would have loved to stay.
