Statement from WealthTV: Comcast Can't Hide Behind the DTV Transition to Delay Justice For Its Discriminatory Behavior

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Robert Herring, Sr., CEO of WealthTV, provided the following comments in response to Comcast's recent public statements and FCC filings:

"For Comcast to hide behind the DTV transition and use it as an excuse to further delay justice for its discriminatory behavior towards an emerging small business programmer is nothing short of appalling. No matter how hard Comcast wishes to spin the facts, Congress did not intend for the FCC to turn its back on discriminatory behavior while ensuring a smooth DTV transition. We estimate that consumers have over paid by more than $100 million dollars to greedy cable operators when similar unaffiliated programming was available for free. Contrary to Comcast's assertions, enforcing discriminatory behavior in a timely fashion is in the best interest of the public and their pocketbooks."
