A federal court in Washington, D.C. has, for the second time, rejected Sky Angel’s lawsuit against C-SPAN over allegations C-SPAN’s cable operators violated antitrust law in pulling C-SPAN from Sky Angel’s programming.
According to reports, the District Court rejected the suit but allowed Sky Angel to re-file the case. The lawsuit was first rejected last June after ruling that Sky Angel did not have sufficient factual evidence of collusion between C-SPAN and its operators.
In its March 28 ruling, the court said again that Sky Angel “failed to plead facts that plausibly suggest that an agreement existed between S-SPAN’s MVPD board members.”
