WASHINGTON, D.C.—The pay TV operator-back American Television Alliance (ATVA) has issued a statement in support of DirecTV’s complaint filed at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) against Disney.
The DirecTV complaint contends that Disney has violated the FCC’s good faith mandates by predicating any licensing agreement on DirecTV waiving legal claims on Disney’s past, current or future anticompetitive actions – including its ongoing packaging and minimum penetration demands.
