Excerpt: The following is a list of national American radio and television networks and announcers that have broadcast World Series games over the years. It does not include any announcers who may have appeared on local radio broadcasts produced by the participating teams. Television coverage of the World Series began in 1947. Since that time, seven different men have broadcast eight or more different World Series as a play-by-play or color commentator. They are (through 2010) Tim McCarver (21 times), Joe Buck (13), Mel Allen (11), Vin Scully (11), Curt Gowdy (11), Joe Garagiola (9), and Al Michaels (8). Game 1 of the 2009 World Series was watched by 19.5 million viewers, second only to the opening of the 2004 World Series in viewership for a series opener since 2000. The viewership for the opening game resulted in a ratings percentage of 11.9% of households in the United States. Game 4 produced the highest ratings of the series with 22.8 million viewers, the highest for any World Series game since 2004 and the highest for a "non-decisive Game 4" since 2003. The CBS telecasts of the 1992 and 1993 Series (both involving the Toronto Blue Jays) were simulcast on CTV. in Canada. During this period, CTV produced their own pregame shows rather than simply taking the United States feed from CBS. Rod Black and Rob Faulds hosted CTV's pregame coverage, with CBS' Tim McCarver providing some additional pregame analysis. In 1993, Andrea Joyce became the first woman to serve as co-host of a World Series when she worked for CBS' pregame show with Pat O'Brien.The 1995 World Series was broadcast on two networks (ABC and NBC) so that they could recoup losses in the aftermath of the 1994 strike. The arrangement was a compromise from both networks, which chose to opt out of a six-year revenue sharing deal with Major League Baseball called "The Baseball Network." Prior to the strike, ABC was scheduled to broadcast the 1994 World Series and NBC was scheduled to televise the 1995 World Series. Fo
