But, who is coming to the rescue for Cablevisions' customer issues, such as Bernards Township New Jersey residents and independent competitors, such as MDTV(R) Medical News Now, Inc. For many years, municipalities such as Bernards Township and many other towns in the tri-state area have struggled to resolve contractual breaches with Cablevision. Similarly, after 6 years of broken promises, MDTV(R) Medical News Now, Inc. is through believing that Cablevision Systems Corporation will cease its relentless pursuit to interfere with airings of its medical television show, MDTV(R) Medical News Now. MDTV(R) claims that Cablevision has aired its show with no audio, aired its show with audio and no picture, and elected to not air the show at all during contracted times in the last 6 years. The company, armed with proof and with Cablevision's own acknowledgment of wrongdoing, is now seeking over 4 million dollars in damages in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Union County.

Representing MDTV(R), media attorney, Carl Salisbury, of Killian and Salisbury, says, "We do believe the [MDTV(R)] case has merit. For the full story (1726 words), go to http://www.mdtvnow.com/ click on "In The News".
