ANOTHER YEAR AND NO DODGER BASEBALL...WHY DOESN'T VERIZON GO AHEAD AND THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND GIVE THE CONSUMERS IT'S LOYAL CUSTOMERS THE DODGER CHANNEL!!!

 

BEAT ALL THOSE OTHER CABLE/SATELLITE PROVIDERS TO THE FIRST PITCH AND THEY WILL GET 70% OF THE LA BASED DODGER FANS WHO RIGHT NOW CAN'T WATCH THE DODGER GAMES.

 

VERIZON FIOS BOARD OF DIRECTORS PAY FOR THE CHANNEL AND THEN MAKE A SEPARATE PACKAGE FOR THE TRUE BLUE FAN TO PAY FOR AND ADD A $1 FOR PROFIT TO YOUR COMPANY.

Couldn't agree more with you! We pay a premium to have the "best" service, and your nickle/diming us around every corner or holding our for every possible piece of profit instead taking care of your customers.

Just think if 70% of LA based Dodger Fans come sign up with Verizon for service at what maybe $7 a month.  Wow Blockbuster deal and with that sales pitch the Board of Directors would probaby make me GM and Guggenheim would give me Dugout seats for bringing in large sums of Dodger Dollars in their pockets. 

Much Love Verizon  Heart  You can swing a big bat with this deal for your customers..Go ahead swing for the Fences what do you have to lose just more Customers to the other cable/satellite providers who make the above deal

It's Spring Time...Take me out to the Ball Game..Take me out Verizon..Sell me a package of Dodger Baseball...Tell all your customers YOU LOVE THEM ALL Heart

Dodger channel would have to agree to a customer pay option.

My guess is that are not interested.

Most channels want to get paid by the number of customers that are subscribed whether they want a channel or not.

And from what I read, they haven't signed up a lot of cable subscribers.

Blame Time Warner, they're still playing hardball. No other cable provider has signed up for this channel thanks to TWC. TWC is not interested in making the channel a pay channel, they want every single subscriber to pay whether they watch the channel or not. You should be lobbying TWC.

Your behind times...that was last year..this is now and coming soon a new type of TV provider.  Like I said if you want it you will pay for it.  It's been around for years..it's called Pay Per View

The Board of Directors have spoken like I told them in the Board Room last year

Sorry but I am not the one who is behind the times. Nobody is carrying the channel because TWC has not changed their stance on the issue. Ask TWC about pay per view.

Where is that logic as Verizon is paying for the SEC channel out here in LA??????

Re: IT'S TIME FOR DODGER BASEBALL

The last sentence in the article is what I and others are attempting to put in the ears of the Verizon executives...

"It appears it will come down to public pressure, market forces and common sense if the impasse isn't to drag into a second straight season."

That is the accepted solution here

 

MLB Commissioner was quoted in the majority of your article and they are not going to get involved.  The NFL hasn't  got involved in getting a Football team to the LA area for over 20 years in one of the biggest revenue making markets in the country.  Professional leagues want the private and public sector to fight it out and then they come in and get their fees or money in their pocket. 

 

See those are the magic words for any change in this market..pressure,forces and sense.  If people speak up like me and others who make sense when commenting  on having a SEC network and BIG TEN network here in the LA Area but not the PAC 12 network that Verizon doesn't provide then customer have to put pressure on their provider and give them solutions to market that channel to a revenue making area like Los Angeles and the West Coast in general. 

 

My article I posted tells of the CEO of Verizon that in order to compete in the cable/satellite industry some changes are going to have to take place and soon.

 

You better start swimming or you'll stink like a stone..cause the Times they are a changin
