Programming
Pre-game
Coverage begins 20 minutes before game time with two segments. The first is Ron Gardenhire Show, a brief pre-recorded one-on-one interview with Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire by Dan Dickerson at home games and Jim Price on road games. The second is From the Field, a brief interview with another Tigers coach or a player (or occasionally, people who have nothing to do with the game itself, often to promote a fundraising event or charitable cause), hosted by Jim Price.
Post-game
Post-game coverage includes a game wrap up, either by Price or WXYT's Jeff Riger, scores from around the major leagues by Dickerson, and a preview of the next game.
