Broadcasters ABC, Fox, Univision, and PBS Files Charges Against Aereo TV Service
Aereo is a $12 per month cloud-based TV service that streams over-the-air channels to Internet devices. However broadcasters like ABC, Fox, Univision, and PBS has filed a complaint against Aereo claiming that the cloud TV service is infringing their copyright. The man behind Aereo is InterActiveCorp’s Barry Diller. The broadcasters are pushing to shut off the service despite the company’s plans to launch the service on March 14th. Aereo uses over-the-air signals that are free to everyone and retransmits them to individual “dime-sized antennas.” Aereo was planning on launching the service in Brooklyn first. The broadcasters are seeking damages and a permanent injunction. [paidcontent]

Given the sexual content that is often displayed in GoDaddy.com’s Super Bowl ads, I figured it would be very hard to get a commercial banned from air-time. Apparently Ashley Madison, a website where people can meet who are interested in having an affair, has crossed the line. Fox has banned the above commercial from airing during this year’s Super Bowl. This commercial stars adult film star Savanna Samson.
FCC To Allow Comcast-NBC Merger If Show Exclusivity Stops On Hulu
In December 2009 Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) made a deal to acquire NBC from General Electric. This deal is facing scrutiny from the government. The FCC said that one of the proposed conditions if they allow the deal to take place is that NBC would no longer have the exclusive rights to their shows on the Internet. This means that Hulu would not be the only web video service that has the rights to stream NBC shows. The three owners in Hulu are NBC, ABC, and FOX. [AllThingsD]
