The Clippers' local television contract with Fox Sports' Prime Ticket runs out after the 2015-16 season and the two sides are far apart in negotiations for a new deal.
Fox Sports made an offer of $60 million annually that Clippers owner Steve Ballmer turned down. Ballmer countered with $100 million annually, which Fox rejected, according to executives familiar with the talks who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
After Prime Ticket wasn't able to get a deal done during its exclusive negotiating window in June, the Clippers have been free to talk to other companies.
