Mayor Eric Garcetti spoke out Tuesday night on Time Warner Cable 's efforts to end the standoff over distribution of the sports channel owned by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Time Warner Cable said late Tuesday that it had cut by 30% the price of the sports channel offered to DirecTV and other pay-TV providers with the hope of spurring long-stalled negotiations over carriage of the channel before the new season begins April 4. Garcetti said in a statement that he has met with carriers over the last few years, imploring them to come to an agreement that would allow more people to see the Dodgers play on television.
