The Dodgers moved to TWC-operated SportsNet LA in February. But TWC is the only major distributor to carry the channel. The others have balked at TWC's asking price, reportedly more than $4 per subscriber per month. The Dodgers eagerly threw their support behind Sherman's proposal. "We're very pleased that our partners at Time Warner Cable have readily agreed to submit SportsNet LA to binding arbitration," Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said in a statement, "and we urge DirecTV to quickly agree so that we can get these games on the air for their customers." The letter to DirecTV and TWC was sent one day after Congressman Tony Cardenas (D-San Fernando Valley) wrote one to the Federal Communications Commission seeking FCC intervention to end the carriage imbroglio.
