DC Circuit Denies LPTV Carriage Appeal

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied low-power TV broadcaster Michael Karr’s petition for review of the FCC’s denial of his attempts to have WVUX-LD Fairmont, West Virginia, carried by satellite MVPDs, said an unpublished order in docket 20-1288 Wednesday. Must-carry rules that apply to cable providers don’t apply to satellite carriage, it said: “His low power station is treated the same as all other low power stations with respect to satellite carriage.”
