TBS Seeing Big Gains For Division Series Games

The MLB Playoffs are off to a strong start with compelling matchups and exciting games leading to impressive early ratings gains on TBS. The net’s opening day of postseason coverage is the most-viewed day one of LDS games since '05, and early numbers for Thursday’s contests show a jump of more than 20% from '08. However, the net faces some resistance to matching the numbers this weekend against several high-profile pro and college football games. One thing is clear -- TBS needs to work on Chip Caray's continued gaffes. Meanwhile, long-time baseball writer Thomas Boswell argues while the Wild Card has made the regular season more entertaining, the additional teams have forced MLB to play postseason games in “degraded conditions."
