KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA - Longtime Atlanta Braves announcers Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren won't be part of TBS' coverage of the team at the start of the season. <br>
<br>
Don Sutton and Joe Simpson, who've split television and radio duties with Caray and Van Wieren for the past several years, will be in the booth for 90 games on TBS. <br>
<br>
Caray and Van Wieren, entering their 28th season with the Braves, will handle 36 games on Turner South, a regional cable network in 6.5 million homes. By comparison, TBS can been seen in 87 million homes. <br>
<br>
Caray, the son of Hall of Fame announcer Harry Caray, isn't upset about leaving TBS for a smaller audience on Turner South. He says all that matters is getting to broadcast the game.
