LOS ANGELES (AP) -- FOX on Wednesday rejected a last-ditch offer from Cablevision Systems Corp. to pay it more for its TV stations' signals, a move that could leave some 3 million Cablevision subscribers in the New York area with few options besides heading to a bar to watch baseball's World Series on TV.In preparation for an extended blackout, Cablevision e-mailed its customers Wednesday saying it will reimburse them $10 to cover the cost of paying to watch the games online through MLB.com.
Cablevision said earlier in the day that it offered to pay the same rate as Time Warner Cable Inc. for signals from FOX 5 in New York and FOX 29 in Philadelphia for one year, even though the rate is more than it pays for any other New York broadcast station.
The cable operator did not explain what it was offering for My 9 in New York and cable channels FOX Business Network, NatGeo Wild and FOX Deportes, which are also part of the fee dispute.
