Kent Gibbons of Multichannel news reports that Cox Communications has rolled out TBS HD in a bunch of markets<\/a>, but exactly where isn’t clear.<\/p>\n King Kaufman at Salon.com has a couple of items on TBS’ coverage.

And Kaufman writes TBS missed the first batter of the 3rd inning<\/a> of the Angels-Red Sox game.<\/p>\n Jack Curry of the New York Times writes about Red Sox TV analyst Jerry Remy<\/a>. The New York Times owns 17% of the Boston Red Sox.

Last year’s game gave Bonnie some painful memories. Bracht also has some viewing picks<\/a> for this weekend.<\/p>\n Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun writes that retired NHL player Scott Mellanby will have a role on Hockey Night in Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n William Houston of the Toronto Globe and Mail enjoyed watching the debut of Mike Milbury on TSN<\/a> last night.<\/p>\n
