\u201cThere\u2019s a chance I may still pop up every now and then on the network, but regardless, I just wanted to express my thanks to everyone,\u201d Alba said in a statement on social media, adding that it \u201cwas the best gig I\u2019ve ever had.\u201d <\/p>\n

SNY will continue to produce its pre- and postgame shows for the Mets and Jets, among other programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of our regular review of our business, operations and programming, SNY has decided to cease broadcasting \u2018Baseball Night in New York\u2019 and \u2018SportsNite,’\u201d a spokesperson for SNY told The Post. <\/p>\n
