Edwards backs fight blackout in New Orleans
Governor Edwin Edwards defends a plan to blackout live TV within 200 miles of New Orleans for a boxing match featuring Ali and Spinks. Attorney Ellis Rubin vows FCC action and possible court challenge, arguing broadcasters cannot block coverage. The 200 mile radius would hit Jackson, Hattiesburg, Meridian, Mobile, and Pensacola.
