Second Circuit Rejects Cablevision Must-Carry Challenge B&C

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Cablevision’s challenge to the FCC’s must-carry ruling that the cable system has to carry upstate WRNN on systems in New York’s Long Island suburbs, Broadcasting & Cable says.

The court said the must-carry provisions are not meant merely to help stations replicate their DMA. Cablevision said it disagrees with the decision and is reviewing its options.
