The FCC Enforcement Bureau sees “genuine issues of material fact&rdquo in Game ShowNetwork’s carriage complaint against Cablevision that should be aired before a judge. In an 11-page submission posted Wednesday in docket 12-122 to FCC Chief Administrative Law Judge Richard Sippel, the bureau said the summary judgment Cablevision seeks is “inappropriate” because there are factual issues to be weighed. Sippel required the response after the bureau said it wouldn't make a filing on whether he should uphold Cablevision's request, angering Sippel (see 1505200069).
