       Adopted:  January 31, 2001       Released:  January 31, 2001

By the Deputy Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

     I.   introduction
1.      John Broyles d/b/a United International Broadcasting Network ("Broyles") has filed a letter
dated January 19, 2001 requesting an injunction against InterMedia ("InterMedia"). We deny the request
for injunction.
2.     Broyles seeks an injunction to prohibit an interruption of his commercial leased access
programming on InterMedia's cable system in Franklin County, Tennessee, on February 1, 2001. In
support of the request, Broyles asserts that recent negotiations with InterMedia to remove their requirement
for proof of insurance have been unsuccessful. Broyles submitted a copy of a letter from InterMedia's
Regional Director, dated January 17, 2001, indicating that a Leased Access Agreement had been sent to
Broyles for signature and stating that if the signed agreement and proof of insurance is not returned by
February 1, 2001, InterMedia will discontinue cablecasting Broyles' leased access programming on that
date.  Broyles contends that insurance is not required to protect InterMedia from potential liability arising
from carriage of his programming, arguing that InterMedia will not incur potential liability because of the
small number of subscribers exposed to his programming.  Broyles also contends that the cost of the
required insurance is excessive.
3.     We have previously considered and rejected Broyles' contentions that InterMedia may not
require insurance to protect InterMedia from potential liability arising from carriage of Broyles'
programming.   Broyles has presented nothing with the current request indicating that a different result is
required or that InterMedia's insurance requirement is unreasonable or in violation of the Commission's
leased access rules.
     IV.  ordering clauses
5.     Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the request for injunction filed by John
Broyles d/b/a United International Broadcasting Network on January 19, 2001 IS DENIED. 
6.     This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to the provisions of Section 0.321 of
the Commission's rules.
