    If you mean the Channel five coverage, unfortunately, here’s part of an E-mail i received from FBUK just before the start of the season;

    P.S Please give a warm welcome to the FBUK Admin Team’s newest member – Channel Five Baseball’s very own Jonny Gould, who will serve as the Fantasy game’s Technical Director for 2009 and beyond! HARDCORE! A brief message from JG himself:-

    Welcome Fellow Baseball Nuts……..God, I’m going to miss saying that.

    I’m sure most of you have heard the rumours – Five TV have ended their association with our beloved sport, or at least they have not committed to another season of Baseball on 5 every Wednesday and Sunday night. The rumours have been many and mixed, and I’m sorry that I’m not in a position to fully clarify the situation for you. What I can tell you is that if this is the end, it has been one hell of a ride. Understandably many of our hardcore viewers are pretty pissed off with Five, but remember they have made a 12-year committent – and for that alone we should all be very grateful.

    So what’s next? Well first and foremost the movers and the shakers in UK Baseball are still committed to finding a home for Baseball on UK television. There is no guarantee as to when or even if that will happen, but we are committed to keeping the Baseball family intact. To that end we are continuing the Fantasy League this season regardless of whether my Baseball TV career has legs.

    So get your Fantasy Caps on tilt because it’s time to play ball!

    Baseball – it’s a Hardcore thing!!

    And, as i’ve heard nothing since, it looks like we wont be hearing from Jon and Josh (and of course Eric) for a while, shame.

    Five are still showing the NHL, albeit just a pre-recorded ‘game of the week’ with no studio bit, but they might have made some sort of commitment to finish the current season.
    Either way, let’s hope if they don’t pick them back up, someone else does.

    Failing that, i you have cable/Satellite you can subscribe to ESPN America.
