TW TO COURT: DOFF CAP

By Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 10/29/2000 7:00:00 PM

Two weeks ago, federal judges heard oral arguments in the second phase of the case, which is to determine whether the FCC was justified in setting the cap at 30% of national subscribers and barring cable operators from devoting more than 40% of their first 75 channels to programming in which they have a stake.
