SUPER OR NOT, TBS MAY AIR UP TO 100 BRAVES GAMES IN '97

          "Despite losing its status as a superstation, TBS may
     nevertheless broadcast" Braves games next season under a
     "compromise agreement still in the works" with MLB cable
     carriers ESPN and Fox's FX, according to John Dempsey of
     VARIETY.  A "possible compromise" was reported at the
     Western Cable Show last week "shortly after" TBS President &
     CEO Terry McGuirk said "he was optimistic" TBS will be able
     to carry up to 100 Braves games starting in '97 -- "a number
     that Fox disputes."  With TBS shifting from superstation
     status to that of a regular cable network, it will run up
     against the exclusive deals ESPN and fX have for MLB cable
     rights (VARIETY, 12/16 issue).
