Time Warner Cable throws fast pitch by its customers
“The pressure of paying for this deal with the Dodgers has left TWC unfazed by the disproportionate increase in the monthly bills of its pay-TV customers…”
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a Major League baseball franchise built on tradition and a history of great success. “Dodger Blue” has given its fans some great World Series memories, such as the 1963 Sandy Koufax-led Dodgers’ sweep of the Yankees and the improbable Kirk Gibson walk-off homerun in 1988 to beat the Oakland A’s.
This year’s team is talented and brings playoff hopes to the hearts of Dodger fans everywhere, most who won’t want to miss any games this season.
If you aren’t a Dodgers fan, however, you probably won’t be volunteering to buy any tickets to its games. But, if you are a Time Warner Cable (TWC) subscriber living in Los Angeles, you’ll be paying for the cable company’s new SportsNet LA network which will air all regular-season Dodgers games even if you don’t want or may never watch that channel.
