Nexstar forces Hope cable company to drop Little Rock station
The same FCC law that caused Cable One to be hit with a $20,000 FCC fine earlier today is forcing Hope Community TV, Inc., an Arkansas cable company to drop KARK, NBC's Little Rock affiliate from its lineup, according to an article in the Hope Star. Nexstar pulled its Shreveport, La., NBC affiliate, KTAL, off the Hope system months ago. The major difference between this case and the battle between Nexstar and Cable One in Miami, Okla., is that both KTAL and KARK are Nexstar stations.

What a slanty and bad headline, purported Journalism teacher!
The LAW forced the removal of the Little Rock TV station.
It works just like any other franchisee that buys rights to distribute a product (NBC programming in this case) that the rights of that purchaser and then, distributor are upheld.
In court.
Whether YOU like it or not!

Mr BarsNTone how fitting. That was perfect. Apparently if you operate in a free enterprise world you should be ashammed unless you are hawking books.
