Yeah, MSG/Cablevision is in yet another carriage dispute (they average 3-4 a year), this time with Time Warner, a competing cable company which is mostly based in the city.
Dolan's MO is that when he gets into a dispute like this it goes on for months and sometimes years. He doesn't care about pressure.
When the Yankees left MSG Network and formed their own YES Network, Dolan kept YES off Cablevision for a long time...denying access to Yankee games to millions of NJ, NY and Long Island cable customers for years.
Community acitivism, state congressional legislation, begging and pleading...everything was tried and nothing succeeded for a long time. This was responsible for the large growth of DirecTV in the New York area at the time.
