Falconsfan567 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I just came across this video on YouTube. It's a story that NBC Nightly News did on the Braves being America's Team way back in 1982. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmite Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Is this why they moved off TBS? Was there pressure from MLB to stop broadcasting to every market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfan567 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Is this why they moved off TBS? Was there pressure from MLB to stop broadcasting to every market?No. The reason they moved off of TBS was because, A/ Ted doesn't own the Braves anymore B/ Ted doesn't own TBS anymore C/ the guys running TBS now wanted to get the playoffs and MLB said they couldn't have both the Braves exclusively and the playoffs and they choose the playoffs over the Braves.

I hardly ever watch that station anymore, but I'll watch it tomorrow and for the next few weeks. Edited October 5, 2012 by dmite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I ever watch TBS anymore is if there is nothing else on and I'm watching Family Guy or Conan. Other than that I never watch TBS anymore and it used to be one of my favorite channels.

If it aint King of Queens or Family Guy, I don't watch it either. Such a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
