<P> As stated earlier, TNT is TBS's outlet to air the beginning of LDS games in case of an overrun on TBS . When the TBS game finishes the TNT game is switched back to TBS . </P> <P> However, in 2011 and 2012, TNT aired its own slate of postseason Division Series games, due to MLB's desire to air fewer LDS games in the early afternoon . This was the first time TNT had ever aired regularly scheduled MLB games, however it used TBS's announcers and production crews with the only difference being the TNT logo in the scorebox replacing the usual TBS logo . </P> <P> In 2011, TNT aired Rays--Rangers Game 1, Tigers--Yankees Games 1 and 2, and Brewers--Diamondbacks Game 3 . In 2012, TNT aired Reds--Giants Game 1, and A's--Tigers Games 4 and 5 . </P> <P> TBS's coverage has been met with criticism by some observers . As with TNT's NBA playoff coverage, MLB playoff games on TBS are not made available to local broadcast television stations in the participating teams' designated market areas . Under the previous contract, ESPN was required to make those games available over-the - air in these local markets . </P>
