The proposed acquisition of Time Warner Cable by Charter Communications will have at least one positive side effect for several Los Angeles area residents. Charter will "soon" begin carrying SportsNet LA, per Meg James of the Los Angeles Times:
"We are going to get the Dodgers on," Charter Communications Chief Executive Tom Rutledge said Tuesday morning in an interview with the L.A. Times.
"We want the Dodgers on every outlet and we are committed to making that happen," Rutledge said.
James estimated that Charter could begin carrying the Dodgers network within a couple of weeks.
