Earlier this month, your agency offered mediation to help work through the dispute. I respectfully urge you to bring the parties together in the FCC offices tomorrow to work to resolve this matter and bring the World Series to over three million New York, New Jersey and Connecticut homes.
Thank you for your consideration.
