MICHIGAN CITIES WIN PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST COMCAST'S PEG CHANNEL MOVE

The Township of Meridian and the City of Dearborn filed suit in federal district court January 11, 2008, asking the court to stop Comcast from dropping analog PEG channels and providing those channels only as a digital service. On January 14, 2008, the court issued a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction (which remains in effect until a new order issues from the court) preventing Comcast from moving the PEG channels. The text of the court's order is linked below.
