The cable superstation TBS was the longtime television flagship of the Atlanta Braves. Originally a local Atlanta television station known as WRJR (Channel 17), it was purchased by Ted Turner in 1970 and eventually changed its call letters to WTBS. Over the years, Braves broadcasters have included Ernie Johnson, Skip Caray, Pete Van Wieren, Don Sutton and Joe Simpson.

TBS began broadcasting the MLB playoffs in 2007. The station used Ernie Johnson, Frank Thomas, and Cal Ripken in the studio during the divisional series, and added Ron Darling for the National League Championship Series.

The prime broadcasting crew is composed of Chip Caray, Bob Brenly, Tony Gwynn, and Craig Sager. Dick Stockton, Ron Darling, Marc Fein, Ted Robinson, Steve Stone, Jose Mota, Don Orsillo, Joe Simpson, and David Aldridge were used in the divisional series round.
