Braves to launch exclusive television network

Call it the Superstation

quote:

---

Has anyone heard who the play by play guy and analyst will be?

---

It's going to be the same guys it's been. The Braves employ Gaudin and Nitkowski, regardless of if the games are televised on bally, gray or whatever.

quote:

---

Pete, Ernie and Skip are putting the band back together

I wish. I wasn't even a Braves fan as a kid, yet I tuned in to TBS every day in the summer to watch the games to listen to them call the game.

And when I became an adult and understood more of Skip's jokes, he got even funnier.

"The bases are loaded.....and I wish I was too"

quote:

---

Skip was a much better announcer than Harry.

---

Perhaps. Growing up in the 80's, I saw "old drunk Harry". But my dad who grew up listening to Cardinals games on the radio in the 60's assured me Harry was very good in his prime.

How many MLB teams have their own stations and will this one be affordable?

quote:

---

They really missed an opportunity to call it The Braves Station

---

Can they show The Beastmaster or Conan The Barbarian after the games?



Also, on Skip, he was a great announcer and great baseball guy. But, those who didn't live in the ATL area in the 90's and didn't get to hear his radio call in shows on local radio missed out. They were hilarious. Skip was a curmudgeon and you could tell they were making him do the shows. The 907th guy of the season would call in and ask Skip to explain the Infield Fly Rule and Skip would just lose it on the guy.

Cubs own Marquee

I don't even know who calls the TV games anymore. I prefer Ben Ingram and Joe Simpson on the radio broadcast.
