MLB 2014 Where To Watch And How To Listen: Los Angeles Dodgers

This is  a new series of posts with the goal of providing the most in-depth information possible for where you can catch your favorite local MLB team broadcasts (for those who live outside of the local broadcast area, MLB offers subscriptions to mlb.tv).

Radio Broadcasts

KLAC 570 AM 

Commentators: Vin Scully, Charlie Steiner, Rick Monday (play-by-play).  Scully does the first three innings of all games in California and Arizona as a simulcast on radio and television.  Steiner and Monday handle the radio broadcasts from the fourth inning until the completion of the games.

KLAC serves the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Television Broadcasts

Time Warner Cable (TWC) Sportsnet LA

Channel Availability:

Time Warner Cable-431 (HD) 249 (SD)
Bright House Networks-1107 (HD) 21, 107 (SD)
(channel not available on any other carriers at this moment because of the pricey cost per subscriber that Time Warner Cable is seeking.)

Commentators: Vin ScullyCharlie Steiner (play-by-play), Orel Hershiser (color analyst on non-Scully broadcasts.  At least I hope that's the case since Vin usually serves as his own color analyst.)  Alanna Rizzo (pre/post game host and field reporter.)  She did a terrific job as a reporter for MLB Network the last two years. Nomar Gaciaparra, Jerry Hairston Jr., Orel Hershiser (pre/postgame analysts), John Hartung (studio host)

Starting with the 2014 season the Dodgers began their own television network to televise most of their games exclusively.  The only exceptions being MLB On Fox national broadcasts on select Saturdays as well as select Sunday Night Baseball telecasts on ESPN.

Vin Scully will call all games that take place in California and Arizona with Charlie Steiner calling all other road games broadcast on TWC Sportsnet LA.  For those that are fortunate (I use that term cautiously because of the pricey cost) to have the channel, you should consider yourselves very lucky.
