The final six games of the Dodgers' regular season will be televised on KDOC after Time Warner Cable announced Monday it had reached a deal.
As KPCC's Ben Bergman has reported, legions of fans were blacked out after the launch of Sportsnet LA, which carries Dodgers games. Time Warner Cable has been the only major pay-TV distributor in the region that offers the channel, as negotiations with other providers stalled.
With Monday's announcement, the situation has changed. KDOC is an independent broadcast station carried by multiple cable, satellite and telco providers in Southern California and can also be received over the air with an antenna, according to a statement from the team.
As the Los Angeles Times reports, these final games will be critical:

Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
