subject: TBS losing Braves?

-=> Quoting Terry May to All <=-
 TM> From ESPNET:
 TM> Not so Brave
 TM> Time Warner's TBS will likely lose its right to broadcast Atlanta
 TM> Braves games, reports Variety.  This potentially devastating news for
 TM> TBS comes from Dave Almsted, senior VP of acquisition rights for the
 TM> Fox Sports Networks, who says ESPN and Fox's FX, both of which share
 TM> an exclusive national cable package of Major League Baseball games,
 TM> are negotiating a dramatic phase-out of Braves games on TBS.
Did they explain how it is that TBS (which is owned by Time-Warner) can lose 
it's right to cablecast its own games, which (I don't think ) are covered by 
MLB agreement? I mean, the Dodgers, Cubs, Mets, Red Sox, and a host of other 
ML teams all have their games on cable, and I don't think they are losing 
THEIR rights.
I  can't see how some executives from rival networks can have the power to 
"phase out" the rights of executives from another network.
Go figure.
