Michigan Communities Take Comcast to Court
On January 11, 2008, the Michigan communities of Dearborn and Meridian filed a lawsuit against Comcast challenging the company’s plan to unilaterally move PEG channels to a digital tier. As a result, those customers with only basic or expanded basic service would have to get a converter box in order to view the channels. On January 14, the court agreed with the cities’ position and issued an order prohibiting Comcast from moving the channels from their current location or changing the format in which they are delivered to viewers.
