TBS used to be great when it aired the Atlanta Braves as it used to be the anti-ESPN or Fox airing plenty of National League baseball. Now, it’s fallen into the trap of the other networks as it’s using teams from the #1 market in the country in an attempt to draw viewers. While TBS will be blacked out in New York for the next three weeks, it still hopes to get people to watch. This week, TBS will be at Citi Field to show the Mets, but also bring in its old team, the Atlanta Braves.
Check out the schedule for the next three weeks for TBS.
