Tennis Channel and Comcast Still Battling It Out  |

Comcast has made what appears to be its last substantive filing in its court battle with the FCC over whether it discriminated against Tennis Channel.

 

According to Multichannel News, Comcast filed a reply brief on Nov. 20 in a federal appeals court challenge of the FCC’s ruling that it discriminated against Tennis Channel in favor of Comcast’s own similarly situated co-owned networks NBC Sports Network and Golf Channel.

 

Comcast argues that it did not unreasonably restrain Tennis Channel’s ability to compete and did not discriminate on the basis of affiliation, even though it placed Tennis Channel on higher pay tiers than NBC Sports Network or Golf Channel.

 

Comcast says the FCC decision violates the First Amendment and Tennis Channel filed its complaint past the statute of limitations so it should be moot.

 

Oral arguments won’t be held until sometime next year and Comcast is hoping in the meantime that the court vacates the FCC order.
