    They're baaaaack: Skip Caray, Pete Van Wieren returning to TBS

    This survey is not a scientific sampling and does not reflect the opinion of the general public, but only of those who choose to participate.




    Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren are going back on TBS.

    Turner Sports has decided to reverse its controversial decision of several months ago and reinstate the longtime Braves broadcasters to the team's telecasts on TBS Superstation, company officials said Monday.

    Caray and Van Wieren will return to the TBS booth after the baseball All-Star break next week.

    Caray, Van Wieren and fellow announcers Don Sutton and Joe Simpson were informed of the decision this morning in a meeting with Turner Sports president David Levy in New York. All four broadcasters will appear equally on the TBS games after the All-Star break, similar to past seasons.

    Caray and Van Wieren, Braves broadcasters since 1976, were removed from the TBS booth in March as part of an effort by the company to make the 90 games broadcast nationally more "neutral" and less Braves-oriented. They have been working games on radio and the regional Turner South network this season, while Sutton and Simpson have handled the TBS games.
    :) :) :D :D ;) :) :D


    It's about time that there comeing back like it or not but Tbs is the home of the braves

    WTF? I hate the Braves (mostly because of all the bandwagon fans), but how can you have a Braves game without those guys? They are awesome - even if they have gotten more homery over the years.

    Mm-hmmm! :applause: I am so glad the fans finally had the last word. TBS had no business tampering with the broadcast booth in the first place. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
