Linsanity Helps End Knicks Blackout On Time Warner
NEW YORK (AP) - First, he lifted the Knicks back into the playoff hunt. Now Jeremy Lin has put them back on TV.
A person familiar with the matter says that Madison Square Garden has reached a deal to put Knicks games back on television for some 2 million Time Warner Cable subscribers in the New York area. The dispute had left subscribers unable to watch the Knicks since Jan. 1, meaning they couldn't tune in to watch Lin lead the team to seven straight wins. That led to criticism and pressure to resolve the dispute.
The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The deal comes just in the nick of time -- the next Knicks game is Friday night against the Hornets.
