TM>> Time Warner's TBS will likely lose its right to broadcast Atlanta
TM>> Brave games, reports Variety. This potentially devastating news for
TM>> TBS comes fro Dave Almsted, senior VP of acquisition rights for the Fox
TM>> Sports Networks, w says ESPN and Fox's FX, both of which share an
TM>> exclusive national cable pack of Major League Baseball games, are
TM>> negotiating a dramatic phase-out of Brav games on TBS.
TY>
TY> Wouldn't this also mean the end of Cubs/White Sox games on WGN and
TY> Mets games on WOR? And Yankee's games on MSG?
