Time Warner agrees to carry Fox Sports San Diego's broadcasts of Padres games

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Time Warner Cable has agreed to carry San Diego Padres games on Fox Sports San Diego, ending a two-year stalemate that affected 22 percent of the county.

Both companies said Monday that Time Warner Cable will begin offering Fox Sports San Diego on March 30, when the Padres open their season with a home game against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fox Sports San Diego began televising the Padres in 2012 as part of a $1.2 billion, 20-year deal.
