"I have always believed in this historic case," said Louis R. (Skip) Miller, partner at Miller Barondess, L.L.P. and lead attorney for the plaintiffs. "I am confident we will prevail."

"We will continue to vigorously pursue Comcast and Time Warner Cable, who spend approximately $25 billion annually licensing cable networks with less than $3 million going to 100 percent African-American owned media," said Mark DeVitre, President of NAAAOM.

"We will not stop until the discrimination stops and we achieve true economic inclusion," said Byron Allen, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Entertainment Studios.
