Appeals Court Hears Argument on KOCE Suit

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Arguments in a state appeals court Tuesday focused on whether a Christian broadcaster has the right to sue the Coast Community College District for rejecting its bid to buy Orange County’s public broadcasting station.

The 4th District Court of Appeal is reviewing a decision to reverse the sale of KOCE-TV to the KOCE-TV Foundation. Attorneys for KOCE and the foundation contend that the Daystar Television Network cannot sue the district because it used another company name to submit its bid.

A Daystar lawyer said the district was trying to bar televangelists from buying the station.
