Exciting news for Dodgers fans! Spectrum and DirecTV have inked a multi-year agreement that guarantees the availability of Dodgers games on SportsNet LA. 

This partnership aims to improve accessibility and affordability for viewers, allowing them to enjoy their favorite team's action without having to pay for unwanted programming bundled in higher-tier sports packages.

In a press release, Dan Finnerty, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Spectrum Networks, emphasized the importance of adapting to changing viewing habits and evolving market dynamics. The agreement seeks to cater to the core base of traditional cable, satellite, and OTT customers while acknowledging the rise of direct-to-consumer choices. 

This step brings sports fans closer to the long-awaited dream of a la carte programming, where they can choose the content they truly want to watch. It's a significant development that will surely delight millions of passionate viewers. 

This latest agreement builds on the initial partnership between Spectrum and AT&T/DirecTV/U-Verse in 2020. It came as a relief for fans who previously experienced frustrating blackouts, missing out on countless moments and memories in Dodger baseball including watching along with legendary Vin Scully in his final few seasons behind the mic and the start of the Dodgers' remarkable reign in the NL West. 

With this deal, fans can once again immerse themselves in the thrilling world of Dodgers baseball, enjoying every swing, pitch, and victory from the comfort of their chosen viewing platforms.
