The Philadelphia Phillies to Make Their Triumphant Return to myphl17

This marks the third time WPHL-TV has been home to the Phillies. WPHL began carrying Phillies baseball games in 1971 and was the broadcast home for the team until 1982. The Phillies returned to the station in 1993, when they again made it to the World Series, and remained with WPHL-TV until 1998.

"We are ecstatic to welcome thisPhiladelphia institution back to our station," said Vice President and General Manager Vince Giannini. "WPHL-TV was the home of the Phillies when they won their first World Championship in 1980, when they went to the World Series in 1993, and we're very happy to welcome them back as the current World Series Champions."

"myphl17 has proved time and again that they are the right partner to provide quality programming for Phillies fans who choose to watch the game from home," said Phillies Senior Vice President of Marketing and Advertising Sales David Buck. "As an independent station, they have the ability to provide prime time coverage that will be complemented with the right balance of advertising and marketing support and we're excited to have them on board again as our television rights holder."

In addition to the spring training and regular season games, myphl17 will carry the weekly W.B. Mason Behind the Pinstripes show before each Sunday Phillies broadcast.
