TBS HD Picks Up Carriage on DISH, AT&T

Securing the rights to telecast the Major League Baseball playoffs was the best thing that could have happened for TBS in rolling out its HD simulcast, as the superstation picked up two more carriage agreements today -- with DISH Network and AT&T U-verse. TBS HD already has distribution on many of the largest cable and systems, including DirecTV, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright House Networks and Cox Communications, although not all of each of those companies' customers can actually watch TBS HD just yet.

In addition to airing all of baseball's opening-round divisional playoffs, TBS will also telecast the National League Championship Series (NLCS) between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.

Mark-

First off, you've done a great job of covering the High Def TV space for over 2 years now. That's pretty impressive! Anyhow, I've just signed up for AT&T U-Verse, so I'm excited to get access to the playoffs in HD! Thanks for the heads up.
