AFTER DISPUTE, MEDIAONE REACHES DEAL W/FSW FOR DODGERS GAMES

          MediaOne "struck a deal earlier this week" with Fox
     Sports West, (FSW) allowing the cable operator to "receive
     the expanded Dodgers slate on the Fox Sports West 2 (FSW2)
     channel," according to Cynthia Littleton of DAILY VARIETY. 
     FSW had begun "blacking out those games" July 6 after
     MediaOne "balked at Fox's surcharge for delivering an
     additional 40 Dodgers telecasts" this season, on top of the
     40 games FSW2 delivered last season.  Details of FSW's deal
     with MediaOne "were not disclosed," but one source said that
     MediaOne "acquiesced to the surcharge -- believed to be
     about" $.15 per subscriber -- "after fielding complaints
     about the blackouts from subscribers."  Another operator,
     Charter Communications, "was expected to resume full" FSW
     MLB coverage by Monday (DAILY VARIETY, 7/14).  In L.A.,
     Larry Stewart noted that the dispute "also threatened" to
     take Angels telecasts off FSW in MediaOne homes, but that
     "also has been settled" (L.A. TIMES, 7/13).
