Cablevision, locked in a dispute with Fox that blacked out the first game of the World Series for millions of subscribers, brought out some relief.
The cable company sent an email to its customers Wednesday, saying it would reimburse them the fee if they sign up for a live Internet feed to watch the Texas Rangers play the San Francisco Giants.
Customers who purchase the MLB.com package and forward their purchase confirmation to Cablevision will have a $10 credit applied to their monthly bill within two billing cycles.
MLB charges a $9.95 fee.
The offer came as Fox yesterday rejected a last-minute effort from Cablevision to pay more for its TV stations.
Fox has exclusive rights to broadcast the World Series.
