Dodgers Games Will Air On Local TV Now That The Season Is Practically Over

Good news for Dodgers fans who have had a rough season: you'll finally be able to watch the last six Dodgers games of the regular season on local TV station KDOC starting on September 22.
The games that will air are on September 22 to 24 against the San Francisco Giants and September 26 to 28 against Colorado Rockies, according to Dodger Insider.
Variety reported that more than 70 percent of Angelenos have been unable to watch the Dodgers games this season because of a dispute between Time Warner Cable and multichannel providers, including DirecTV.
The blackout happened because the baseball team signed a deal to have Time Warner Cable create their own channel, SportsNet LA. However, negotiations for DirecTV to carry the channel fell through when DirecTV didn't agree with the terms of the agreement: they said the costs were too high and that their customers should be the ones who get to decide if they want to pay for that channel. DISH FiOS, U-Verse, Charter and Cox are also not carrying the channel.
Support for LAist comes from
“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,” Time Warner Cable COO Dinni Jain told Dodger Insider. “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 offseason.”
KDOC, which syndicates shows like Community and American Dad (as well as aired a disastrous and hilarious New Year's Eve show with host Jamie Kennedy back in 2013) can be seen on the following channels:
Charter: 710 high definition or 10 standard definition
Cox: 1012 or 12
AT&T U-verse: 1006 or 6
DirecTV: 56
Verizon FiOS: 506 or 6
Dish: 56
Over-the-air broadcast: 56.1
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
