Supreme Court makes cable rulin
► The 'must carry' rule requires
cable companies to broadcast
local television stations.
WASHINGTON (AP) —The government can
force cable television systems to carry local
broadcast stations, the Supreme Court said Mon
day in a decision that could serve as a stay of ex
ecution for small, independent channels.
The 5-4 ruling rejected cable companies’ ar
gument that a 1992 federal “must carry” law vio
lates their free-speech rights by forcing them to
carry stations they would rather drop.
The justices said the measure is a lawful effort
to preserve broadcast television and ensure public
access to information from a variety of sources.
More than 60 percent of American households
subscribe to cable TV The decision means those
customers will continue to receive local broad
cast stations on their cable systems.
“Broadcast television is an important
► What's Up?
source of information to many Americans,”
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the
court. “For decades now it has been an essen
tial part of the national discourse on subjects
across the whole broad spectrum of speech,
thought and expression.”
There is heavy competition for space on cable
systems because many new cable networks have
been created in recent years.
Cable companies voluntarily carry network-
affiliated broadcast stations because of their large
viewership. But smaller, independent channels
feared that without the must-carry rule, cable
systems would drop them. The stations then
could lose advertising and face going out of busi
ness, the broadcasters contended.
Broadcasters praised the cable TV ruling, while
cable TV industry officials were disappointed.
“We’re elated the Supreme Court has recog
nized the historic importance of preserving free
over-the-air television for all Americans," said
Eddie Fritts, president of the National Associa
tion of Broadcasters.
