BRAVES TV

Baseball fans will be able to watch possibly two games of the Braves-Mets weekend series on TV – even if they are customers of Comcast/Xfinity.

Sunday’s game will be televised in prime time on ESPN at 7 p.m., and Saturday’s game will be televised on FS1 at 4 p.m., subject to a possible local blackout. So, for the first time since May 1 – the date of the expiration of the broadcast deal between Bally Sports South and the cable provider – fans can watch games on other networks available on Comcast/Xfinity.

Bally Sports South and Southeast in Atlanta – owned by the Diamond Sports Group – are part of 15 regional sports networks nationwide that had to come off Comcast when the contract expired May 1. Bally Sports South and Southeast also broadcast the Hawks.
