“I respectfully urge you to bring the parties together … to resolve this matter,” said CEO James Dolan said yesterday.
Dolan made the request in a letter to FCC Chair Julius Genachowski. A rep for Fox called the letter a “stunt.”
If a resolution is reached, it would end the 12-day blackout of Fox channels, the longest such blackout ever in a major market.
Cablevision owns amNewYork.
