Another memorable John Sterling call came the night after Dale Murphy injured his hand on the plexiglass wall requiring 9 stitches. He would come off the bench and hit a homer to keep his consecutive games played streak alive at 676 games.

Skip and Ernie were fans of New Coke
On April 23, 1985, the Coca-Cola Company introduced reformulated Coca-Cola, often referred to as ‘New Coke.’ The change sparked a strong consumer backlash and the original formula returned to store shelves less than three months later as ‘Coca-Cola Classic’
May 4, 1981 | Braves at Cardinals “Bob Horner went 4 for 4 with 2 doubles and 3 RBI in a 9 to 6 win over the Cardinals.” — Pete Van Wieren
“Every program that I originated, I always tried to have it be uplifting, entertaining, and educational as well as fun and interesting to watch. I tried not to go down-market like some other people in this business have done and tried always to try and pull our society up a
April 29, 1986 | Mets at Braves “Claudell Washington ties it at 2! Well there was no question about that one.” — Bob Neal
Im from San Jose and we had WTBS in the early 80s. Giants and the A's were RARELY on TV but thanks to Ted... the Braves were on! My friends had the power alley poster because of WTBS & TED I saw the Giants play the Braves at the Candlestick more than any other team! RIP TED

Ted Turner, who permanently altered the global news landscape and launched CNN, has died. He was 87. Along with CNN, Turner launched WTBS, TNT and the Cartoon Network, was also a renown philanthropist, and former owner of the Atlanta Braves and Hawks. audacy.com/wccoradio/news…
Mr. Turner and his WTBS was the reason I became a Braves, Falcons and Hawks fan. People wonder how did I became an Atl fan. Well there it is. I think I remember watching you on TBS as a Hawk. 🏀🤙 #RIP
RIP Ted Turner, 87. Made the Atlanta Braves’ games the most bet-on games in American sports. All 162 available on WTBS when there were just a handful of national games available.
For a lot of us Ted Turner was a huge part of our growing up. WTBS. The Braves. WCW. The old CNN with the best nightly sports show of all time with Nick Charles and Fred Hickman. A very influential man. His wife can go suck a dick though.

Early TBS (still WTBS) was also the main home of the early tokusatsu series "Ambassador Magma," brought to the US as "The Space Giants."
Ted owned WTCG during the Atlanta Wrestling War of 1972. That war began the 2 hour Saturday wrestling block on the future WTBS. In 1982, it was the highest rated two hours on cable tv!
How important was Ted Turner? If you were around in the 80s/90s, how many kids did you see growing up wearing Braves caps? His WTCG/WTBS superstation foreshadowed everything that was to come, from ESPN to broadcast.com and beyond.
Oh yes. His was the first so-called superstation, WTBS Atlanta. That provided the seed money for CNN. Anyone remember Lynne Russell?
I got nothing to say about Ted Turner except I still thinks it’s funny that he paid MIT a shit ton of money because their radio station used to be called WTBS and he really needed them letters
When I was a kid, I jokingly thought WTBS stood for "Whoa, Those Braves Suck." A pioneer in the business. #RIP
Ted Turner, Robert Edward Turner III, November 19, 1938, Cincinnati, OH - May 6, 2006, Lamont, FL. Founder of CNN, superstation WTBS, andd Turner Classic Movies (TCM),
Reminded today of being a kid and our family first got cable. WGN out of Chicago and WTBS out of Atlanta were mesmerizing to me. A glimpse of other parts of the country for this native Northwest kid. RIP Ted Turner.
This makes me love this organization even more. I wouldn’t have cared a whit about MLB except Ted showed all those Braves’s games on WTBS when no other channel was showing pro baseball and that’s when I fell in love with you fellas. He was a great entrepreneur.
Kids of the 80s remember Starcade on WTBS. Kids playing current arcade games for prizes. Appointment TV, right between after-school snack and homework.
Yes! When my Washington Senators moved to Texas and I moved from Maryland to South Carolina in the early 70's I turned to WTBS (on cable in Greenville then) and quickly fell in love with the Braves.
I would have never known about the Japanese horror classic “Matango” without WTBS “the superstation”
I’m surprised there is not more talk about Ted turner today in the news. Whatever one may think of him, he was an innovator who reshaped 24/7 television news and the movie business with his CNN, WTBS, TCM turner classic movies Turner Broadcasting Network and the Cartoon Network
Same here. I spent many afternoons with Braves baseball on WTBS. Great announce team too. Skip Caray and Pete Van Weiren were almost as important to my childhood as Niehaus and Rizzs.
R.I.P. Ted Turner, died on May 6, 2026 at the age of 87. He was the founder of the Cable News Network (CNN) and WTBS. theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…
Weird trivia: After Dusty Rhodes got spiked WTBS cuts to an ad for the Al B. Sure Hotline. I'm sure some teen girls got grounded over this one.

It was WTCG (Turner Communications Group) before it was WTBS. Not WTSG. @TimAndrewsHere @JaredYamamoto @autopritts

March 11, 2010 - #Rush reference on WTBS' "Lopez Tonight". In a skit titled "The Classics: in a friggin' nutshell" with Andrew Dice Clay, he says: "Tom Sawyer ... ahead of his time. I didn't really read the book, but the song by Rush kicks ass."
So long Ted😓 Growing up in NY, WTBS was on Channel 27. Watched so many Braves games, as well as Georgia Championship Wrestling. Seen Dale Murphy tear up the NL, as well as the Nature Boy and the Four Horseman. Can’t forget the great Gordon Solie x Skip Carey behind the mics!
The Braves wish to inform everyone they are very fond of their trophy and have no plans to give it back. The defense starts April 1.
Chalk it up to nostalgia & the powerful brainwashing of The Superstation #WTBS, but I'm betting I get significant agreement among my peers that this is the greatest infield of the '80s! 😁 #Braves #StatisticsBeDamned
Due to the high demand of Ichiko Aoba's first show here in Indonesia, we are adding one more show, 2 March 2023. Last chance folks, we don't wanna hear WTBs etc after this😐 Grab em here the-storefront.com/product/ichiko…
I ❤️’d Fleer’s #SuperStar cards & in 1986, nothing was hotter than #DrK, #DonnieBaseball & #TheHitKing celebrating 4192! Carew reached a career milestone, 2 pairs of #HOF SS’s & 3B, everyone’s favorite #Braves duo via #WTBS & a couple #Cardinals who could fly. #NotJunkWaxtoMe
