  1. Im not sure I totally understand what’s going on here but I just hope the courts rule fairly and that an example is set to show companies discrimination isn’t tolerated on any level as well as any false discrimination claims to mislead the courts for bias gains on race.A balancing of the law needs to be applied here.

  2. Which reporter from IBJ wrote this trash? AT&T is just as “woke” as the rest of Corporate America. They wouldn’t negotiate with a black man? Are you kidding me? Race has NOTHING to do with this. AT&T just negotiates historically with white broadcasters when negotiating carriage agreements according to Circle City’s lawsuit.

    This lawsuit is about business and nothing more. IBJ….the new ESPN.

  3. The issue could just simply be that the products being negotiated, channels 8 (the CW) and 23 (Indy TV) are far inferior to the other channels out there, therefore they are being asked to take less of a re-broadcast fee. Channel 8 lost their network affiliation either right before or right after the most recent acquisition, but that is of no consideration to AT&T. Ask yourself this, when was the last time you went to channel 8 or 23 to see specific show!? For me, the only time I might have stopped on either channel was when I was surfing by and 23 had a high school sports game on.
