FCC rules against Cable One

Cable One violated FCC rules by showing a Tulsa station to its Miami customers after Nexstar pulled KODE and KSNF programming off cable in that community, the agency announced. Multichannel News said the agency will hold hearings to determine if Cable One should be fined.
Cable One added KJRH, the Tulsa NBC affiliate after losing KSNF.
"Obviously, we’re very pleased that the FCC agreed with our position,” Nexstar chief operating officer Duane Lammers told Multichannel News. He said he hoped the decision sent a message to the cable industry.

Until another broadcast group takes the same action that Nexstar did it will not matter. There is no solidarity among broadcasters, they are business people who care only about money. Lammers is slowly turning into a fringe wacko with his obsession to "destroy all things cable". It will never happen. In addition to their TV servcie, people use cable for internet and pay-per-view now. Lammers will end up in a straight jacket repeating the phrase, "Cable should be paying us...Cable should be paying us...Cable should be...." It's sad really.
