KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA - Longtime Atlanta Braves announcers Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren won&#39;t be part of TBS&#39; coverage of the team at the start of the season. <br> <br> Don Sutton and Joe Simpson, who&#39;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&#39;t upset about leaving TBS for a smaller audience on Turner South. He says all that matters is getting to broadcast the game.
