Racial Discrimination Lawsuit
On December 3, 2014 a $10 million racial discrimination lawsuit was filed against AT&T and DirecTV by the National Association of African American Owned Media (NAAOM) for allegedly violating the Civil Rights Act of 1866. NAAOM is headed by Entertainment Studios vice-president Mark DeVitre. The lawsuit claims that Entertainment Studio Networks were denied carriage by the two providers on the basis of race.[4] In December 2015 AT&T and DirecTV (now owned by AT&T) caved in and settled the lawsuit. DirecTV began carrying Comedy.TV and Justice Central.TV on December 28 and AT&T UVERSE began carrying Comedy.TV, Recipe.TV, ES.TV, MyDestination.TV, Cars.TV and Pets.TV. UVERSE already carried Justice Central when the lawsuit was filed.[5]
