Not everyone has both TBS and TNT
__________.jpg)
From Deadspin, via the Atlanta Journal Constitution, comes this tidbit about Turner’s strategy for broadcasting three playoff baseball games in one day:
Note: If a game lasts longer than its scheduled 3 1/2-hour window, the next game will begin on TNT, then shift to TBS.
I don’t have a lot to add to this except to say that I lived in Atlanta for three years. I was a Comcast customer with basic cable and, as part of that deal, I got TBS, but not TNT.
And if I was living without TNT today, and was forced to miss part of my favorite team’s playoff game, I would be irate.
Fortunately, I now live in Tucson and have PREMIUM cable, including TBS, TNT, MTV, ESPN and Comedy Central. No HBO, but one step at a time, you know what I mean?
And if you’re one of those poor schmoes who is living with TBS but without TNT, just pray that none of the games run long.

Actually, tbs is no longer a local channel in Atlanta either. The local tbs channel has become Peachtree TV and tbs has moved up the dial and is only available to cable/dish subscribers. So anyone who has tbs should have TNT as well. It’s the people who don’t have cable who have problems – they won’t be seeing anything.
