The lawsuit was filed in southern California and it relates to TWC paying $8 billion for Dodgers' games and $3 billion for Lakers' games. The thing is, it's not only TWC customers suing. TWC plans to sell their new sports channels to other providers so there are plaintiffs from Charter, DirecTV, and Verizon as well as their cable rates will go up.
As the Consumerist notes, this lawsuit isn’t just second-guessing Time Warner’s decision to acquire the rights: it questions the entire cable television business model. http://consumerist.com/2013/06/20/time-warner-cable-customers-who-dont-like-sports-file-class-action-lawsuit/ -- -- TV or Not TV ....
