Charter trying to nab TBS HD prior to MLB playoffs

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 30th 2008 at 3:46AM

While Verizon already secured TBS HD for its FiOS TV customers prior to the start of the MLB playoffs, Charter Communications subscribers may or may not be so fortunate. Particularly for Brewers fans in Wisconsin, the ~~desire~~ need to land this station in short order is crucial to their well being, and according to corporate spokeswoman Anita Lamont, the carrier is working hard to make it happen. Currently, the station isn't slated to go live until October 14th, but that's obviously far beyond the date baseball fans are hoping for. In somewhat related news, Charter Wisconsin is also scheduled to launch Animal Planet HD, Movie Channel HD and Smithsonian HD in mid-October, so even if the whole TBS thing doesn't happen on time, not all joy is lost.

It came here to a suburb of Atlanta, GA however its rebranded as Peahchtree TV which plays the same shows as TBS HOWEVER it airs no sports. No baseball, no Braves no play offs nothing! Horrible move by Charter
