Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

i believe whatever the "primary" broadcast is is simulcast to trutv, and if it runs long, they shift the start of the next broadcast to TBS or TNT (whichever one isn't airing the game that's already live)

in this case, TBS & TruTV (Brewers-Cubs starts on TNT)
