A federal bankruptcy judge says Fox will have a chance to challenge the Los Angeles Dodgers if the team attempts to sell future television rights along with the franchise.
Fox's Prime Ticket subsidiary, part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., holds the team's broadcast rights through the 2013 season and has the exclusive rights of first negotiation from October-November 2012 for a successor agreement.
As part of his bankruptcy case, Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said he wanted to auction future broadcast rights. McCourt agreed last week with Major League Baseball that he will attempt to sell the franchise. It's unclear whether he will attempt to sell the future media rights as part of a sale.
Fox Sports Net West, the corporate name of Prime Ticket, sued the Dodgers on Sept. 27.
