.LATstevelopez on Anne Goldfarb: 'She gave 60 years of her life to the Dodgers, beginning in 1958, and what did all that loyalty get her? A TV blackout, a box of dusty memories, a broken heart. So she switched to the Angels.'
get Dodgers broadcasts on her TV because of a blackout now in its sixth straight season
The trouble began when the Dodgers sold 25 years of SportsNet LA broadcast rights to Time Warner, which is now Charter Spectrum, for the go-to-hell sum of $8 billion. Other cable companies and carriers refused to pay the cut demanded by Time Warner, and so began one of the longest-running, greed-driven, let’s-take-fans-for-granted debacles in American sports history.
“I can’t believe they allowed this to happen and I wonder how the Dodger players feel, knowing that a lot of L.A. can’t watch them,” said Goldfarb. “Do you think it makes them feel bad at all, or apologetic?”Fans do have the option of hanging out at a bar that carries Dodgers games, but that’s not for everyone. Neither is the not-quite-legal tech trick some have used to pirate Dodgers games out of the sky.
Even though Bond, and I, and countless others pay for ESPN, we still get hit with blackouts for some games. On behalf of all of us, I demand a refund. Bond said he figured for the first three years after the deal was struck that the carriers would have to come to an agreement, but he learned to stop hoping that fan consideration would prevail. Recently, he tuned in to one of the occasional Dodgers games available to him on KTLA, but the experience wasn’t what it used to be.
