Time Warner Banks On Free Dodgers VOD In LA

Time Warner Cable hopes to hit a home run in the Los Angeles market with a new free video-on-demand offering: Dodgers on Demand, reports Multichannel News. Part of its overall sponsorship deal with the team, the cable operator has acquired archival footage for the platform--and will shoot new stuff like game highlights to keep the site updated frequently. It will be accessible to 2 million Southern California homes, and will also have coverage of Dodgers charity events and press conferences--while continuing to operate even in the off-season. And the system looks to be unique: Jeffrey Hirsch, the Los Angeles president of Time Warner Cable, says he is unaware of any other company division offering similar on-demand portals for professional sports teams.
