On Thursday, Charter Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHTR)’s shares inclined 0.05% to $171.33.
Charter Communications, Inc. (CHTR) said it will offer the Los Angeles Dodgers-owned cable channel to its customers in Southern California starting Tuesday, ending a 14-month TV blackout that’s left thousands of baseball fans fuming.
The first broadcast will be the second of a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium. Charter has some 300,000 subscribers in the Los Angeles region.
The move comes less than two weeks after Charter unveiled a nearly $57-billion deal to acquire Time Warner Cable, which until now had been the only major pay-TV operator to carry SportsNet LA. Charter was motivated to start offering the games as it seeks to build goodwill for a projected takeover that would make it the largest pay-TV company in Southern California.
The Stamford, Conn., company didn’t want to antagonize Southern California customers who have expressed concerns about the stalemate. There has also been sharp criticism from key government officials, counting members of Congress and the Federal Communications Commission.
Charter’s shift represents the first break in a more than yearlong log jam that has prevented hundreds of thousands of homes in the region from receiving the channel. Charter had been one of the primary pay-TV company holdouts that refused to carry SportsNet LA, which is among the most expensive sports networks in the nation.
