Mets v. Sportschannel: From New York Lawyer:

    The New York Mets won an early round of litigation yesterday with a ruling rejecting Sportschannel's plea for a preliminary injunction that would have blocked the Mets from negotiating a new licensing deal for a regional sports network.



    Sportschannel Associates v. Sterling Mets, No. 603548/04, by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Helen Freedman of the Commercial Division arose from a licensing agreement granting Sportschannel exclusive rights to broadcast the Mets regular season games.



    The contract was set to expire in 2011 but included a buy-out clause the Mets exercised in May. The move truncated Sportschannel's license at the end of the 2005 season.
