Fox Sports West 2 Wins Round 1 With Ducks
The Mighty Ducks lost the first round of their dispute with Fox Sports over what channel will televise their games when an Orange County Superior Court denied a request by the team that the games be shown on Fox Sports West, not Fox Sports West 2.
Judge Ronald C. Kline’s ruling allows Fox Sports West 2 to continue showing Duck games. The Ducks had complained that because no cable operator in Orange County has agreed to carry the start-up station, games are unavailable to their fans. Another hearing has been set for Feb. 25 at the Ducks’ request.
Bill Robertson, director of communications for the Ducks, would not discuss the ruling. “We can’t make any comment during the litigation period,” he said.
