STATEMENT BY MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON
THE YES NETWORK AND CABLEVISION

“Unfortunately, at the moment, Cablevision and the YES Network are unable to agree on the details of the previously announced agreement to have Yankees games carried on the Cablevision cable systems.  The two mediators, Richard Aurelio and Gerry Levin, have asked that they be removed from the process.  I want to thank all the parties, and the two mediators in particular, for the hours, days, and weeks of work that they put in to try to reach an agreement. My hope is that sometime in the future the two commercial ventures, the YES Network and Cablevision, can come to an agreement which would let all fans see all of their hometown teams.”
