MEDIACOM REQUESTS A SECOND LOOK FROM FCC
[SOURCE: TVWeek, AUTHOR: Ira Teinowitz]
Three days after being forced to drop 22 Sinclair Broadcast Group TV stations in 12 states from its cable systems, Mediacom Communications took action. First, it asked the whole Federal Communications Commissions to take a second look at its complaint that Sinclair wasn't fairly negotiating retransmission rights. Second, it gave out free antennas. According to the Des Moines Register, the 4,000 antennas -- needed in order to watch Fox affiliate KDSM-TV -- quickly ran out, but more are being made available.
