Fox to change World Series time for Obama


October 15, 2008 To accommodate a half-hour Obama time buy on Fox on Oct. 29, Major League Baseball has agreed to move the start time of World Series Game 6 by about 15 minutes. "Fox will accommodate Senator Obama's desire to communicate with voters in this longform format," Fox Sports said in a statement. While a big network ad buy from a presidential candidate is rare, it's not unprecedented for a network and sports league to move the start time of a sports event to accommodate a political broadcast.
