Time Warner Cable is considering bidding for the rights to broadcast Los Angeles Dodgers baseball games, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The Dodgers’ TV rights through 2013 are currently owned by News Corp.’s Fox. The Post is also owned by News Corp.

TWC wants a long-term deal similar to the contract it signed with the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team this year, said the person. TWC would likely add the Dodgers games to its regional sports network that will begin broadcasting Lakers games for the 2012-2013 season, the person said.
