Carriage Denied Over Mailing Method, KMTP Says

Noncommercial KMTP-TV San Francisco said it was denied carriage on Dish Network because it sent notice by priority express mail instead of certified mail, in an FCC carriage complaint filed by licensee Minority Television Project. “All of the information” required for carriage was provided, the broadcaster said. The FCC should order Dish to carry KMTP despite Dish’s “hyper-technical reading” of the rules, the complaint said.
