Dodger fans will be able to watch five more games on KTLA this season under a deal with Spectrum Networks announced Friday.
Dodger games are normally viewable on TV only on SportsNet LA, which is available exclusively to Spectrum customers.
The five games – one in August and four in September – will be simulcast on KTLA and SportsNet LA.
As part of the agreement, viewers can also watch Spectrum Networks’ pregame show “Access SportsNet: Dodgers” before each game.
