PHOENIX — We are now in Year 5 of SportsNet LA televising the Dodgers, and we are in Year 5 of the network unavailable on many major cable and satellite television distributors.
The network announced on Friday that five regular season Dodgers games in the season’s first month will be simulcast on KTLA channel 5, allowing fans without SportsNet LA to watch some games on over-the-air broadcast television.
But the press release also contained this caveat: “SportsNet LA and Dodgers games are exclusively available on Charter’s Spectrum service and other distributors are not expected to carry SportsNet LA this season.
