Sports fans in the New York and Philadelphia areas may still have a shot at seeing both of Saturday's baseball playoff games.

Representatives of News Corp.'s Fox and Cablevision say they're returning to the negotiating table at noon Saturday to try to resolve the programming fee dispute that led Fox to pull its channels from some 3 million Cablevision subscribers in New York and Philadelphia.

Both sides have less than eight hours to come to an agreement before subscribers miss Game 1 of Major League Baseball's National League Championship Series, when the Phillies take the field against the San Francisco Giants.

The blackout affects Fox 5 and My9 in New York and Fox29 in Philadelphia. Subscribers also lose access to cable channels Fox Business Network, NatGeo Wild and Fox Deportes.
