Television
===2000s===
Note
★ ''Per the new new television agreements, the World Series will be televised by FOX through 2013.''
===1990s===
Notes
★ Note: The CBS telecasts of the 1992 and 1993 Series were simulcast on CTV in Canada.
★ Note: 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. For 1995, ABC and NBC alternated games, with ABC scheduled to cover Games 1, 4, 5, and 7, while NBC covered Games 2, 3, and 6. Game 7, however, was not necessary.
===1980s===
===1970s===
Notes
★ Note on 1977: This was the first time that the participating teams' local announcers were not featured on the network telecast of a World Series.

Notes
★ Before 1966, the only TV play-by-play announcers for the World Series were the top announcers for each team. For example, if the Yankees played the Dodgers in the World Series, Mel Allen (representing the Yankees) would call half the game and Vin Scully (representing the Dodgers) would call the other half of the game. But in 1966, NBC wanted their network announcer, Curt Gowdy to call most of the play-by-play at the expense of the top local announcers. So instead of calling half of every World Series game on television (as Vin Scully had done in 1953, 1955, 1956, 1959, 1963, and 1965) they would only get to call half of all home games on TV.
