Unlike several of the other Turner-owned networks, TBS isn't a reason to pick one Sling tier over the other. Both Orange and Blue carry it at the same $45.99/mo. The tier split that matters for TBS households is what else you'd want alongside it: Orange has the ESPN family and Disney-owned channels, Blue has Fox News, USA Network, FX, and the NFL Network. Pick based on those, not TBS, since either single tier already covers it. See the fullSling Orange vs Sling Blue breakdown for every channel checked on both tiers, not just TBS.
TBS's sister network under the same parent company, TNT, follows the same pattern: also on both Orange and Blue. The one Turner-family network that actually is tier-specific is truTV, which is Blue-only. If your household wants TBS, TNT, and truTV all together from a single Sling tier, only Blue gets you all three; Orange gets TBS and TNT but not truTV. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and DirecTV Stream all carry the full Turner trio (TBS, TNT, and truTV) in one plan, along with local network affiliates and most other cable channels, for more than a single Sling tier but with no gaps to route around. Fubo is the one broader service missing the whole Turner trio, see the FAQ above.
A free antenna will never carry TBS. It's a cable-only network with no over-the-air broadcast signal at any price. What an antenna does get you free: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, and The CW in most markets, covering local news and network primetime, just not TBS's cable-exclusive lineup (its MLB coverage and syndicated sitcom reruns among them). Seehow antennas actually work for the distance and terrain caveats, and the full cost comparison for the real monthly math against your current cable bill.
TBS rarely shows up on its own in a "what am I about to lose" list; it usually comes up alongside a handful of other entertainment channels a household actually watches together. Since either Sling tier already covers TBS, the real decision is what else lives on that tier. If the rest of what your household watches splits across both Orange and Blue, the combo plan or one of the full-lineup services may actually be cheaper than assembling two separate Sling subscriptions piecemeal.
The fastest way to check is our channel finder: look up each channel your household would genuinely miss, one at a time, and see which single plan covers the most of them. TBS alone doesn't decide the plan; it's one line item in a bigger household decision, and the honest answer is different for a household that also wants ESPN and the Disney-owned channels on Orange than for one that wants Fox News and the NFL Network on Blue.
