No release of Fox TV hearing audiotape
on Oct 31, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., has refused a request by the C-SPAN cable and radio network to release on Tuesday the audiotape of the Court’s oral argument that morning in Federal Communications Commission v. Fox Television Stations (07-582). Thus, the audiotape will not become available until after the current Term is over. On Tuesday, the Court will release the written transcript of the argument within the hour after the 10 a.m. hearing has concluded at about 11 a.m.
As is customary, the Chief Justice gave no reason for denying early release of the audiotape.
