The Policy Division Chief within the FCC’s Media Bureau has granted a request from Gray Media to dismiss its complaint filed against Dish as it battled with the direct broadcast satellite service provider over a now-resolved retransmission consent impasse.
Gray filed the complaint against Dish on April 18, when the two companies were in a contentious battle over a fresh carriage agreement.
A fresh deal arrived just after 9pm Eastern on May 1, when the Atlanta-based company’s TV stations began sharing the news on their respective websites that a new retransmission consent agreement had been reached.
With that news, Gray on May 4 requested that the FCC dismiss its complaint, as the dispute had been settled.
Maria Mullarkey, Policy Division Chief within the FCC’s Media Bureau, acquiesced.
