Feds order Comcast to quit dissing Tennis Channel

[Bob in Jersey]

The FCC expects the cabler to give the network, which does minor tournaments and ancillary coverage of majors, comparable placement with other specialty sports nets (as it had with Golf and what was still then Versus), except where channel capacity issues would be caused by doing so. It's the first time a system operator's been found in violation of nondiscrimination rules in regard to programming since their inception in 1993.

Which in Chicago would in two-digit land, where both NBCSN (as OLN) and Golf migrated from the digital tier some time ago.  When Bloomberg recently complained, they got moved down in Chicago (while still in three-digit land).  Unfortunately for Tennis, the only place they can be put in is in the 90s with QVC, C-SPAN and TVGN (and Weather Channel).
