Supreme Court cable ruling may affect small stations
The Supreme Court ruled cable operators can be required to carry all local broadcasters but how viewers see stations may not change. The decision focuses on public access to a rich mix of over the air programming, benefiting small and educational channels and foreign language broadcasters at risk of being dropped. Cleveland’s WAX TV Channel 35 notes no expected change in its reach due to low power station exemptions.
