| Summary: | YES Network Chief Executive Leo Hindery has a new plan to end a 16-month battle with Jim Dolan, his Cablevision counterpart, over broadcast rights to Yankee and Nets games - "Lock us in a room and don't let us out until there's a deal." Hindery sent Dolan a letter Saturday, suggesting such a man-to- man meeting at the midtown Manhattan conference center of Cablevision's law firm, Sullivan & Cromwell, beginning today. Hindery said he also would agree to include a neutral mediator if Dolan so preferred, suggesting former U.S. District Judge Frederick B. Lacey - who two years ago settled a dispute between the Yankees and Cablevision affiliate Madison Square Garden Network. |
