A federal bankruptcy judge has blocked an antitrust lawsuit filed by The America Channel seeking to halt Time Warner Cable and Comcast's joint purchase of Adelphia Communications. In a court order granting Adelphia an injunction against TAC, Judge Robert Gerber barred the channel from taking any further court action that would interfere with the sale. An attorney for the channel vowed to challenge the order. The fledgling America Channel, which was unable to negotiate a carriage deal with either Time Warner or Comcast, claims that the two acted in cahoots to drive down the price of Adelphia and that the sale would increase their monopoly power in deciding which channels get carried and which do not.
