TBS will exclusively televise the National League Championship Series (NLCS) presented by Camping World - Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers - beginning tonight, Saturday, Oct. 14, with Game 1 of the best-of-seven series at 8 p.m. ET. The 104-win Dodgers, owners of MLBs best record and seeking their first NL pennant since 1988, will host Games 1 and 2 against the defending World Series Champion Cubs. Brian Anderson (play-by-play) will be joined by veteran MLB on TBS analyst Ron Darling and reporter Sam Ryan to call the NLCS.

The MLB Postseason Pre-Game Show on TBS will begin the networks NLCS coverage at 7:30 p.m., featuring Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez, nine-time All-Star Gary Sheffield and former NL MVP Jimmy Rollins alongside host Casey Stern. The studio team will also offer postgame analysis on The MLB Postseason Show on TBS presented by the Lincoln Motor Company.

The networks upcoming postseason schedule and production notes follow.

For the first time, TBSs NLCS coverage will bring fans even closer to the sounds of the game through the use of microphones embedded into the grass on the playing field. Four RF microphones will be located in front of home plate, one each in front of, and behind, the pitchers mound and one each in the grass behind the second baseman and shortstop.

In addition to Anderson, Darling and Ryan calling the NLCS, reporter Lauren Shehadi will be on-site to provide updates from the ALCS.

A new second screen experience - the 7th Inning Stretch - will continue during the bottom of the 7th inning of every NL Postseason game on the TBS Facebook page & Twitter account, featuring the MLB on TBS studio team providing live in-game commentary and interaction with fans from Turner Studios in Atlanta.

Along with behind the plate virtual signage, Batter's Eye virtual signage will be inserted during NLCS coverage for the first time on TBS.

Live streaming coverage of all MLB Postseason games airing on TBS will be available via www.tbs.com and the Watch TBS app.
