LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Charter today announced it has secured an agreement to broadcast six Dodger games on KTLA5, including 'Vin Scully Appreciation Day' and the final series of the 2016 regular season against the San Francisco Giants.  KTLA5, Tribune Broadcasting's Los Angeles television station, is available on Channel 5.  Charter customers have 24/7 access to SportsNet LA.

"At Charter, we're focused on delivering the best sports entertainment possible through networks such as SportsNet LA," said Michael Bair, Executive Vice President, Spectrum Networks. "This award-winning network is only available today through Charter, and providing this preview during Vin Scully's last few games is a great way to allow all Dodger fans to enjoy the legendary announcer as he closes out his iconic career.  We're also looking forward to showcasing the network as a way to remind all Dodger fans who don't subscribe to Charter what they're missing."
