Spat

Massillon Cable and Fox Sports’ ongoing dispute isn’t over yet. Massillon won an arbitrator’s judgment that it should be charged a lower rate for FSN OH since the RSN is no longer providing Indians games. But Fox has argued all along that the spat isn’t arbitrable and thus declined to even participate in the arbitration process. It just wanted the arbitration ruling so it could then appeal it to the FCC. Now, we hurry up and wait some more… As for the arbitrator’s ruling, she found that Fox Cable’s conduct was "unreasonable" and ordered that FSN OH reimburse Massillon for "excess affiliation fees."
