Boston = HUGE ratings
Arizona = can't sell out home playoff games
It's not an east coast bias, baseball teams on the east coast are just much much more popular.

Yeah I guess so but I really have not had a big problem with TBS and their coverage so far. I mean its not fox, but where I live, I don't get fox in HD but i do TBS. But I mean there may be some sort of bias, but that will always be. I mean its the Sox. And if it were'nt, it would be the Yanks. These are the two biggest teams in every way in baseball

TBS and Fox will alternate NLCS and ALCS each year till 2013. Maybe you should read up on the details before you make stupid statements. There is this new source of information called the internet. Maybe you should try it sometime.

You get what you pay for.
By FOX showing ALCS games, it tells people that it can afford to show it. By TBS showing NLCS games, it tells people that it has been able to afford it.
In the end, the World Series is on FOX, the Super Bowl is on FOX, the Nascar Nextel Cup Series is on ABC, the NBA Finals are on ABC, and the Stanley Cup finals are on NBC.
I don't think FOX is biased to the AL, but I do think they like flaunting their "American Idol" money.
ESPN is sooooooooooooo biased towards the AL.

tbs has done a phenominal job so far and i hope they continue doing so
id rather have them do it then espn... on espn they wont even tell you the game is being broadcasted unless they are doing it and if theyre not they wont say FOX or TBS they will say espn radio which is pretty sad
but to answer the question they've always been more biased to the al, they have bigger market teams like the yankees and red sox which get watched more so they will bring in more money obviously... which may be stupid but what can ya do?

They obviously did not refer to you at the same time as they scheduled the ALCS on TBS. TBS has elevated their baseball coverage to instruct more suitable than the Braves the finest couple of years, and bid the most to instruct the LDS and the ALCS. Fox has had the unique non-cable rights to baseball for a number of years now, yet they nonetheless opt for to instruct a number of their common lineup on off-days. Plus, rainouts can now be rescheduled, more suitable innings might want to be shown, and conflicting interest situations do not should be rolled over to FX or TNT, which they could do.

Of course Fox wanted the AL -- that's where the Yankees are.
Fox's biggest bias (in sports) is toward big ratings.
Oops, no Yankees on Fox this year. Aw shoot.

yeah, and? I mean it doesn't really matter to me who covers it as long as they do a good job of it. And TBS is doing a good job so far.
One thing I don't like in sportscasting is that ESPN was slow in getting the down and yards up during the Cowboys-Bills game on MNF. I mean, they'd snap the ball and it would flash up there. ugh, they suck at MNF, give it back to ABC like the good ol' days.
