This article is for subscribers only.
The National Football League asked Cablevision Systems Corp. to enter binding arbitration to get the league’s television channel to the cable company’s 3 million subscribers.
Steve Bornstein, the NFL Network’s chief executive, said Cablevision supports binding arbitration to end a dispute with News Corp.’s Fox that has kept that channel off the cable system for about two weeks. James Dolan, Bethpage, New York-based Cablevision’s chief executive, should agree to use the same process with the NFL, Bornstein wrote in a letter to Dolan.
