Cablevision and Fox parent News Corp. have walked away from the negotiating table for the evening.
That leaves 3 million customers in the New York metropolitan area with little hope of watching the first game of baseball's National League Championship Series from their couch. The American League Championship Series between the Yankees and Texas Rangers, which began Friday, is airing on TBS and isn't affected by the dispute.
Cablevision spokesman Jim Maiella says both sides met for hours Saturday afternoon. He says negotiators plan to meet again Sunday.
News Corp.'s Fox pulled its channels off Cablevision early Saturday after the companies' programming deal expired and negotiations for a new one stalled, threatening broadcasts of the National League Championship Series for some 3 million Cablevision subscribers in parts of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
