Yes! Just like years past the MLB World Series will be broadcast in 4k with participating TV service providers. FOX is producing the World Series and offering it in both HD and 4k HDR (using the HLG specification). Is the World Series native 4k? No, FOX may be using 4k cameras but the production is still in HD then upscaled to 4k. We must tell you though, the 4k signal looks really good, especially the 4k graphics. The 4k feed also uses HLG High Dynamic Range for expanded color depth. Only a 4k HDR TV will take advantage of the deeper and more realistic color.
