Judge Declines to Grant Injunction

A judge on Wednesday refused to grant the Mighty Ducks a preliminary injunction that would have returned their games to Fox Sports West for the remainder of the season.

The games instead will continue to be shown on the start-up Fox Sports West 2 network, which is no available to Orange County cable customers and reaches only 350,000 to 400,000 subscribers in Southern California. Fox Sports West is available in more than 4 million Southland homes.

Of the Ducks’ remaining 20 games, eight will be on Fox Sports West 2, seven will be on Channel 9 and one will be on ESPN. Four other games are not scheduled to be broadcast.
