MLB Network will soon introduce a new edition of the Emmy Award-winning program MLB Tonight that will feature Harold Reynolds and Adnan Virk previewing the night's games, with Reynolds stationed live from Major League parks from across the country, the network shared in a press release Thursday.

The new edition of MLB Tonight will debut on Opening Day at 12 p.m. ET. Reynolds and Virk will also be on together at 4:00 p.m. ET later that day. The program will run daily at 6:00 p.m. ET after that.

Virk, a veteran in the sports media industry, joined MLB Network in 2019, after spending nearly a decade at ESPN. Reynold has been on MLB Network since the network's launch in January 2009.

“I’m thrilled about the chance to work with the talented Adnan Virk as this is going to be one of the most creative pregame shows ever,” Reynolds said. “We’re going to use all our bells and whistles. I’ll be at the park for interviews with players and coaches, we’ll do demos on our field in Studio 42, and bring analysis that you won’t find anywhere else. This show is going to touch on everything going on in our sport. If there’s a big game or moment in the Minor Leagues, college baseball and softball, we’re going to cover it. If a youth player makes this crazy play, we want the highlight to be on this show. This will be a premiere pregame show for the entire sport of baseball.”

The Opening Day program will include an exclusive one-on-one hitting demo with New York Yankees outfielder and reigning 2022 American League MVP Aaron Judge.

“I’m thrilled to have been at MLB Network for the last four years and now to have found a home on the 6,” Virk said. “If you’re a baseball fan, there’s no better place to get prepared for the night’s action and be up to date on all that’s happening in our great sport. To be alongside my friend and Emmy Award winner Harold Reynolds, makes this latest journey all the more sweeter.”

Virk and Reynolds will be joined by a rotating group of MLB Network analysts such as Carlos Pena, Chris Young and Bill Ripken.

Greg Amsinger, Dan Plesac and a rotating group of MLB Network analysts will continue to lead the late-night edition of MLB Tonight.

Another change was recently announced at MLB Network, as Stephen Nelson will leave Intentional Talk to broadcast Los Angeles Dodgers games for SportsNet LA. With Nelson departing, Kevin Millar will now cohost Intentional Talk with Ryan Dempster and Siera Santos.
