The 48-day blackout of the MSG Network on Time Warner Cable is over.

And fans can thank Jeremy Lin, with an assist from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.

The impasse was 37 days old when Lin became the Knicks’ starting point guard, and his success has become a global phenomenon. Going into Friday night’s loss against the New Orleans Hornets, the Knicks had won each of his six starts, and ratings had soared.

But Time Warner Cable customers around the state — including those in Chinatown — could not witness Lin’s rapid rise without finding a friend or relative with a different TV provider or heading to a sports bar.

Cuomo said during a radio interview on WOR-AM that the fans’ clamoring for Lin “heightened the pressure” on MSG and Time Warner Cable to reach the agreement that he helped to arrange.
