ABC Family-EchoStar hearing postponed

By Allison Romano -- Broadcasting & Cable, 3/12/2002 9:38:00 AM

The Walt Disney Co.'s ABC Family and EchoStar Communications Corp. have another week to hammer out a new carriage agreement.

A hearing before U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, originally scheduled for Monday, was moved to next Monday (March 18) as the two sides try to negotiate a settlement out of court.

International Family Entertainment Inc., the corporate entity that controls ABC Family, sued EchoStar to keep the direct-broadcast satellite provider from pulling the network off its Dish Network.

EchoStar had threatened to discontinue the channel Jan. 1, but a temporary injunction has prevented that move so far.
