Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), who suggested binding arbitration as a way of ending an impasse that has left about 70% of Los Angeles area residents without TV access to Dodgers games, on Monday provided more details in hopes of bringing pay TV players to the table.
Time Warner Cable, which snapped up the rights last year to distribute the all Dodgers network SportsNet La, has agreed to arbitration, but its largest competitor in the market, DirecTV, has not. The satellite provider’s CEO, Michael White, said on a conference call with analysts last week that he would be open to mediation, which is much different than arbitration, and said that the team also would probably have to be part of the process.
In a letter to FCC chairman Tom Wheeler, Tw Cable’s Rob Marcus and DirecTV’s White, Sherman wrote that the arbitration would be subject to the rules of the American Arbitration Assn.
