All 9 MLB clubs pulled out with 8 of them turning over production to MLB Media for production. The Braves are expected to start their own network.

To quote a tee shirt I’ve seen … “put the Braves back on cable"

Seriously, they can pull it off if anyone can. They’ve got a much broader demographic than anybody other than the Cubs and Yankees.

Won’t be TBS due to their national contract but the rumor we’ve been discussing on a Braves board I frequent is that they may have a deal with Apple or Amazon for big money. One of the espn producers I talked to at the UNC/syracuse game Monday night said that’s what they were hearing also. They have such a broad fanbase big streaming services find them compelling. They may end up in the short term doing a deal with Gray media an Atlanta based group that produces their spring training games and about 15 games a year for free on local Georgia TV. Similar to the canes and WRAL. This gives them this season to work out a long term deal and get production crews in order for 2027. It’s a quick turn around to get them on Apple or Amazon even if they’ve been doing some leg work behind the scenes for the last couple of years. Every one knew the RSN’s weren’t going to make it. They should be announcing something very soon with spring training kicking off next week
