KSAR vs. AT&T

Saratoga's community access station forced to switch to Channel 15

AT&T said it was going ahead with the channel change. Sure enough, it did, and San Jose's KICU-TV now fills the Channel 6 airwaves in Saratoga and Los Gatos. The spot used to belong to community-access stations KSAR and KCAT, in their respective communities. The latest twist to the case came late on Sept. 24, when station managers announced a new player on their legal battlefield. The Palo Alto-based law firm Heller, Ehrman, White & McCauliffe has agreed to take the cities' case pro bono, and will work with Saratoga and Los Gatos at least through the next round, scheduled in court Oct. 5. Then AT&T will be required to show proof of why the channel swap needs to be made. The cities will then have an opportunity to respond. For now, the two stations are on Channel 15.   More
