L.A. Gets HD Baseball on TBS

Time Warner Cable Engineers Activate Signal

By Linda Haugsted -- Multichannel News, 10/3/2007 11:36:00 AM

Time Warner Cable engineers in Southern California scrambled to enable the regional system to activate TBS HD, announcing at 3:30 p.m. Oct. 3 that it had managed to add TBS’s high-definition channel in time for the region to watch the Los Angeles Angels in their first play-off game against the Boston Red Sox in the American League divisional play-off.

Time Warner, which serves the majority of Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties, is offering three ways to watch the local team in the play-offs: in standard definition on TBS’s usual channel placement, in HD on Channel 413, or as a simulcast on CNN en Espanol on Channel 305 with play-by-play commentary by CNN senior sports anchor Diego Bustos.

  I''m well aware that we are in the minority, but it would be nice if we could somehow see some of the post season baseball out here in the boonies. We are miles beyond any availability of cable TV or high speed internet, and we have TVs that rely on long distance antennae to receive our programs. Apparently, the baseball american league playoffs are only on TBS - which is not available unless we have satellite TV - which is way too expensive for us old fogeys. It would sure be nice if someone would put ALCS baseball on one of the local LA or San Deigo stations so we out here in the sticks (Aguanga) could enjoy it.
  
  Thanks for listening.
