Comcast has won a reprieve of the FCC’s order for the cable operator to make the Tennis Channel available to more of its subscribers, the LA Times reports. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit today granted Comcast a stay of the FCC’s order. Comcast hopes to overturn the FCC ruling and avoid having to make Tennis Channel available to the same number of subscribers as the Golf Channel and NBC Sports Network, which Comcast owns. FCC rules prohibit cable operators who own programming from discriminating against competitors’ programming. The Tennis Channel expressed confidence the court ultimately will agree with the FCC’s decision. Comcast had begun preparing its cable systems to comply with the FCC’s order but now can mark time until the court rules on the cable giant’s appeal.

go comcast! there’s already too many sports channels.
Regarding the Tennis Channel, I think it is shortsighted of Comcast to want to exclude this channel from its programming. I am a tennis professional, and my specialization is junior tennis. This is an area that is ever expanding. Yet, my kids can watch Storage Wars, Duck Commander, the show that teaches you all about making moonshine, and other ridiculous rants. This is not a biased post, as there is alot of the programming that I like. However, tennis,is not something that shunned just because you do not own the channel. As for the goofball that says there are too many sports out there, he’s probably never played one in his life.
