A federal court in Washington, D.C. has, for the second time, rejected Sky Angel’s lawsuit against C-SPAN over allegations C-SPAN’s cable operators violated antitrust law in pulling C-SPAN from Sky Angel’s programming.

In its March 28 ruling, the court said again that Sky Angel “failed to plead facts that plausibly suggest that an agreement existed between S-SPAN’s MVPD board members.”
