Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Wednesday alleging that AT&T-owned DirecTV orchestrated unlawful information exchanges with three of its competitors that resulted in the companies’ decisions to not carry the Dodgers Channel, the Justice Department said in a statement. The Justice Department alleges that DirecTV unlawfully exchanged competitively-sensitive information with Cox, Charter and AT&T about the companies’ ongoing negotiations to telecast the Dodgers through SportsNet LA, who holds exclusive telecast rights for live Dodgers games, and whether they would carry the channel in the future. The discussions allegedly enabled the companies to obtain bargaining leverage and reduce the risk that they would lose subscribers if they did not broadcast the Dodgers Channel but a competitor did. “Dodgers fans were denied a fair competitive process when DirecTV orchestrated a series of information exchanges with direct competitors that ultimately made consumers less likely to be able to watch their hometown team,” said Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Sallet of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division in a statement. “Competition, not collusion, best serves consumers and that is especially true when, as with pay-television providers, consumers have only a handful of choices in the marketplace.” The Dodgers Channel is still not carried by DirecTV, Cox or AT&T. 'The facts that are in this suit —if the facts are accurate —[show] that there was collusion,' Wall Street Journal media reporter Joe Flint told KPCC's AirTalk. “It’s a very interesting suit because basically, from reading it, one can gather that Cox and Charter cooperated with the Justice Department on this.

It doesn’t exactly look good for DirecTV, and Game 7 of the World Series timing aside, there’s something even bigger at stake, because critics of AT&T’s potential deal to acquire Time Warner — the entertainment company, not the cable company — will point to this suit as an example of why this deal shouldn’t happen.” Flint noted that both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump have said that the merger is a bad deal. “[The DOJ is] stepping into this with a designated goal and that goal is to send a message, both instantly to the various cable providers in this particular case, and I think, to a larger picture of the larger deal that is going down with AT&T and Time Warner. This a deal that is opposed across the political spectrum by some pretty heavy hitters,' Flint said.
