ESN Ends Charter Racial Discrimination Litigation

Entertainment Studios Networks and the National Association of African American-Owned Media settled their 5-year-old complaint charging Charter Communications with racial animus in opting not to carry ESN content. The plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal Wednesday (in Pacer, docket 16-cv-00609) in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. ESN settled similar litigation last year with Comcast (see 2006110011).
