Notes
- Except for Game 1 in both series, all games in 1975 were regionally televised. In addition, the first four games of both of the 1995 League Championship Series were regionally televised.
- NBC play-by-play man Vin Scully was unable to call Game 2 of the 1989 NLCS (on Wednesday, October 4) because he had come down with laryngitis. Thus, number two play-by-play man, Bob Costas filled-in for him. Interestingly, around the same time, Costas was assigned to call the American League Championship Series between Oakland and Toronto. Game 2 of the NLCS occurred on Thursday, October 5, which was an off day for the ALCS. NBC then decided to fly Costas from Toronto to Chicago to substitute for Scully on Thursday night. Afterwards, Costas flew back to Toronto, where he resumed work on the ALCS the next night.
- The rather messy 1995 arrangement was courtesy of The Baseball Network, which was Major League Baseball's in-house production facilities. ABC and NBC shared the same on-air graphics and even the microphone “flags” had the Baseball Network logo on it with the respective network logo.
- In 2001, Game 5 of the NLCS and Game 4 of the ALCS were split between FOX and Fox Sports Net.
- In 2002, Game 1 of the NLCS and Game 2 of the ALCS were split between FOX and Fox Sports Net.
- In 2003, Game 1 of the ALCS and Game 2 of the NLCS were split between FOX and FX Networks.
- In 2004, Game 1 of the NLCS and Game 2 of the ALCS were split between FOX and Fox Sports Net. Also in 2004, Game 5 of the ALCS ran way into the time slot of Game 5 of the NLCS. As a result, the first seven innings of the NLCS game were shown on FX Networks, except in the home markets of the teams competing in the NLCS, which saw the conclusion of the ALCS on FX and the NLCS on FOX.
- In 2005, Game 1 of the NLCS and Game 1 of the ALCS were split between FOX and FX Networks.
