WealthTV Lodges Carriage Complaints Against Major Platforms

SAN DIEGO, October 11: The lifestyle and entertainment
channel WealthTV has lodged carriage complaints against several pay-TV
platforms, including Comcast and Time Warner, with an Administrative Law Judge
set to recommend a decision to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
within 60 days.

In addition to Comcast and Time Warner, WealthTV has issued
complaints against Cox Communications and Bright House. The channel has been
unable to secure carriage on those platforms.

“WealthTV is extremely gratified that the Media Bureau of
the FCC has agreed that there is sufficient evidence of prima facie violations
of the law against discrimination by Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Bright House
and Cox for WealthTV to move forward with its cases against these cable
companies,” stated Robert Herring, Sr., the CEO and co-founder of WealthTV.
“Our high-quality, high-definition programming is already enjoyed by millions
of subscribers to telco video offerings and forward-looking cable companies
across the nation. WealthTV looks forward to the day when our claims against
these big cable operators are decisively vindicated, and we can offer our
programming to millions more Americans.”
