Court upholds FCC power to permit over the air pay TV
The U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia by 7-1 upholds the FCC’s authority to allow pay television on the public airwaves. The decision rejects theater owners and others who argued the agency violated licensing rules and free speech. The ruling affirms FCC rules requiring a pay station in suitable markets to provide 28 hours of free service weekly and limits on program content to prevent siphoning from commercial telecasts.
