I bet the dodgers will block the angels move claiming territorial rights.

Territorial rights are preset and the Dodgers dont own any over the angels.

That was the initial reason the Angels moved to Anaheim in 1966. If I’m not mistaken, the Dodgers acquired those rights when they purchased the PCL Los Angeles Angels. Gene Autry’s next choice after LA was Long Beach but the city wanted Autry to name the franchise the Long Beach Angels, and that wasn’t something he would go for. Have to fact check that one, especially whether or not the Dodgers still own those rights. I seem to be of the minority among Angels fans who fully support Arte Moreno restoring the franchise’s original name, as the team was actually born in LA; Autry’s original intention was to have the Angels play in LA; and the name Los Angeles Angels itself has much deeper roots in LA. But I think the best way to go is either stay put or build a new stadium in Tustin.

They will come to terms because both companies are owned by the same people…. Duhh

AT&T and Comcast are the same company?

Even if they were the same company, if they were kept as seperate divisions, it does not guarantee a deal would get done. The dodvers last tv contract missed several months of tv coverage because the dodvers could not agree to a contract with fox, the company that owned them at the time.

They will come to terms because the Concast/NBC Universal consent order with the FCC requires the joint venture [Comcast NBC] to license NBC Universal content to Comcast’s cable, satellite, and telephone competitors. Disputes over content or price are subject to arbitration. It also applies to former Comcast content (eg: Concast SportNet stations) and will extend to TWC content according to a Comcast executive at the time the merger was announced including the Dodgers carriage dispute. Those of us in New York should be able to get NY1 news on satellite and FiOS and not be prisoners to TWC and Cablevision if we want the local news channel.
