ATLANTA -- A federal appeals court has suspended a July 9 injunction that would have removed additional Christian programming from the DISH satellite network.
Baptist Press reported that Sky Angel, a satellite network that provides Christian programming on DISH, sought the injunction. Sky Angel filed suit last winter after DISH added FamilyNet and Daystar, both Christian networks, to its satellite feed.
The company said its contract with DISH guaranteed it exclusivity in Christian programming on the satellite network.
A federal judge in Denver issued the original injunction, but the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay July 11. Sky Angel has until July 18 to file a response, BP reported.
