What happens

Braves TBS Baseball (or Braves Baseball on TBS) is an American presentation of regular season Major League Baseball (MLB) game telecasts featuring the Atlanta Braves National League franchise that aired on the American cable and satellite network TBS. The games were produced by Turner Sports, the sports division of the Turner Broadcasting System subsidiary of Time Warner, TBS's corporate parent. The program, which debuted in 1973, ended national broadcasts in 2007. TBS phased out its national coverage of Braves baseball after it was awarded an MLB-wide national broadcast contract effective in 2008. WPCH-TV, the rebranded former originating signal of the TBS superstation feed, retained Atlanta-market rights to a partial schedule of Braves games through 2013, but primary rights moved to cable regional sports networks, eventually settling with Fox Sports South (ultimately FanDuel Sports Network South). The broadcasts on channel 17 in Atlanta eventually returned in the 2025 season, as a simulcast of selected games from FanDuel Sports Network South; these broadcasts continued into 2026 as the team's rights transitioned to BravesVision. The telecasts on channel 17 had exclusive pregame and postgame shows, and the games were syndicated to other TV markets in the Braves' designated territory. As part of the current contract with MLB, TBS selects Braves games for national broadcast on equal grounds with other MLB clubs, but their national broadcast are blacked out in the Braves' MLB-designated territory if BravesVision carries the game as well.
