Time Warner Cable today announced it has secured an agreement to broadcast the final week of Dodger games on KDOC. KDOC is an independent broadcast station that is carried by every cable, satellite and telco provider in Southern California and can also be received over the air with an antenna.
The Los Angeles Dodgers
are in an exciting race for the National League West Division
Championship. The final six games, including a series against rival San
Francisco Giants, will determine if the Dodgers make
the playoffs and have a chance to win the World Series.
Beginning September 22,
Time Warner Cable will simulcast the remaining games of the season,
featuring the iconic Vin Scully, on SportsNet LA and KDOC, subject to
national broadcast commitments. The Dodgers face
the Giants on September 22, 23 and 24 at 7:10 p.m. and then take on the Rockies on September 26 at 7:10 p.m., September 27 at 6:10 p.m. and September 28 at 1:10 p.m.
“Time
Warner Cable is part of this community and we’re Dodger fans too,” said
Dinni Jain, Time Warner Cable’s Chief Operating Officer. “Angelenos
love their Dodgers, and we’re happy to
give them a way to watch their beloved team during this pennant chase.”
Time Warner Cable has
worked hard to get other providers to carry SportsNet LA so all fans
will have access to games. The company even agreed to enter into binding
arbitration to secure a deal and offered to make
games available during arbitration. Unfortunately, other providers have
refused.
“Right now, we can’t change the fact that other
area TV distributors won’t carry the channel, but we don’t want anyone
to miss this exciting pennant run,” Mr. Jain continued. “We hope
everyone will tune in to KDOC and help us cheer on the
Dodgers. We will continue to work on long-term agreements with other providers in the off season.”
