NBC/Peacock is going with Jason Benetti and a series of local analysts for its exclusive late Sunday morning MLB games. Benetti also calls play-by-play for the White Sox and "several sports for ESPN." He is expected to be joined by "one analyst from each of the given teams that are on each week." The first game will feature the White Sox-Red Sox at 11:30am ET on May 8 on NBC and Peacock, with Benetti joined by "one Red Sox analyst." The rest of the games "will only be on the Peacock streaming service" (N.Y. POST, 4/26).
In other sports media personnel news breaking this afternoon, ABC News' Kaylee Hartung has "emerged as the leading candidate to be the sideline reporter" on Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” coverage this fall (N.Y. POST, 4/26).
