Cablevision Rebuffed


According to Mets.com, Cablevision's request to prevent the Mets from moving forward with their new television network has been denied.
Cablevision's request for a temporary restraining order against the Mets' plans to grant their telecast rights for 2006 and future seasons to the new regional sports network -- formed recently by Sterling Entertainment Enterprises, LLC, Time Warner Cable and Comcast Corporation -- was denied by Justice Helen E. Freedman at a hearing held in New York State Supreme Court.
This may not be the end of Cablevision's petty grandstanding, but these events don't bode well for those of you out there with Cablevision who are expecting to see Mets games in 2006.
