Comcast v. FCC decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. “The meaning and reach of the evidentiary standards set forth in the Comcast Cable decision are thus potentially subject to further review,” said GSN in a joint status report submitted to FCC Administrative Law Judge Richard Sippel Friday (http://bit.ly/1jEYIV3). Both GSN and Cablevision said they needed the Comcast verdict and its effect on program carriage law to be finalized, either by a denial of cert or a Supreme Court decision, to proceed with their case. The Cablevision/GSN case has been on hold since June, while the parties waited for other carriage disputes to resolve, with Tennis Channel’s complaint against Comcast (CD May 29 p1) the last remaining question mark. In the joint status report, the companies suggest that they be allowed to wait for the Supreme Court process to finish, and to submit another joint report either within 60 days of the Dec. 6 filing or 10 days after the Supreme Court resolves the Tennis Channel matter, whichever is earlier.
