An appeals court has upheld a ban on political advertising on public broadcasting – reversing an earlier ruling by members of the same court.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, ruled against a public broadcaster seeking to have the ban overturned on 1st Amendment grounds. The broadcaster was also seeking to be able to run paid advertisements from for-profit companies.
