CHRISTIAN BROADCASTER TO SUE OVER KOCE SALE
Daystar Television Network, a Christian broadcaster owning over 40 television stations nationwide, will sue the trustees of Orange County’s KOCE for declining their bid to buy the PBS station. Daystar announced it would sue Coast Community College District, the owners of KOCE, alleging that it violated the company’s constitutional right to freedom of religion by rejecting its bid. KOCE has a noncommercial license that requires it provide educational programming. Larry Mantle talks with KOCE Foundation Chairman Bob Brown, Coast Community College District attorney Milford Dahl and Jim Loper USC’s Annenberg School for Communication.
