CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Indians are nearing a television deal with Time Warner Cable that would be the largest in team history and could include the club’#39;s own sports network.

Time Warner Cable spokesman Keith Cocozza confirmed the talks Monday. He did not know when an agreement would be announced.

Under the terms of the deal, Time Warner would broadcast 130 regular- season games on an existing network or a new network owned by the Indians. Another 20 regular-season games would appear on Cleveland television station WKYC. Most of the games on WKYC would be on Sunday afternoons, along with three night games.

Financial terms of the pending deal with Time Warner have not been disclosed.

Indians spokesman Bob DiBiasio and Brooke Spectorsky, general manager of WKYC-TV, declined comment.

The Indians have been shopping for a new television contract since their deal with Fox Sports Net Ohio expired after last season. The Indians made $17 million last season with FSN.

FSN Ohio general manager Steve Liverani said his network is out of the running to sign a new deal with the team.

“The Indians made it clear to us they want to manage and control their own television coverage,” Liverani said. “We’#39;re getting the sense they want to start their own channel.”

The Indians won 93 games last season but missed the playoffs after losing six of their last seven games.
